LED Strobes/ Nav Lights

I'm willing to bet that Rotax uses a standard automotive alternator of some kind. I refuse to believe that ANY alternator is worth $1000! What we really need is a mounting bracket and a good quality Japanese alternator.

Good Morning..

We (Kitfox Aircraft) are distributors for both the Aero Pulsar and the GS-Air... We have had the Proto-Type Aero Pulsars on the factory aircraft since July and they are a nice unit with a clever install. The new lenses are very clear although the proto-type ones need to be replaced. The non-Tso'd units are $650...

GS-Air is sending us a set of proto-types as well.. should be here next week. Will let you know what we find out.

Dean,
Welcome, it is great to have manufacturing reps on the site. I bought a pair of your wing-tip nav/strobes, my plane is not flying yet but they work great in the shop.

Welcome Dean. Enjoy the site.

Hi Dean and welcome to the site. I was looking on the Vans Site recently and noticed a post you made there. It had some great shots of your nav-lights as well as landing lights taken at AirVenture this year. I enjoyed seeing them and wondered if you could place those here as well? I know most are shots of RV's but it could give some ideas to the Kitfox community as well. Thanks

Dan,

It appears that I am limited to four photos per post, so I will have to submit several posts to show you these pictures:

Here are some other pics as well... Also there is no power external power supply needed.. just wire, switch and fuse.

Mickey - For what it is worth - I have and use the 40 amp aux alternator - I could be wrong; however, the alternator looks an awful lot lot like the Nippo Denso unit on a 84 Toyota pickup except for a different driven pulley and the alternator housing rotated 90 degrees. There is more to it than the alternator, mount and belt though - the drive pulley is a three piece unit composed of the sheave screwed to split plates so that the pulley can be slipped over the prop flange, assembled to the split hub behind the prop flange and then held together to the back side of the prop flange with the collar nuts anchoring the prop bolts - I am betting the machine work going into the drive pulley accounts for a considerable amount of the cost of the aux alternator kit in addition to the mount and brackets - the whole works does fit well under the series 7 cowl - but then there is the extra weight issue.
