That is exactly what I have done. I drilled a hole in the foam core, fore
to aft, and fed the wires through that hole. The Whelen white light -strobe
combo mounts to a faired flat on the thin end of the rudder nearly at the
highest point on the rudder. The flat is 1/8 inch thick aluminum sheet
tapped to accommodate the mounting screws.
The only (minor) problem is that the Whelen assembly's strobe wires with a
factory-attached plug does not reach through the rudder, which is odd
because the wires for the tail light are long enough but without a plug.
That logic escapes me.

Subject: Europa-List: Tail Nav Light
Does anyone out there in computer land know of a convenient way of mounting
a
tail nav light on a Europa other than the wing tip? I can imagine a simple
fairing that could be bonded to the rudder as is done on many aircraft.
Thanks,
