<<<< Are there good reasons for not putting the flash generator units in 
the wings, on an inspection cover? The size is 9 x 14 cm base, 6.5 high. 
weight 250 gr. How is the reliability of these (aeroflash) units? Maybe 
the inspection cover could be made when, if ever, needed, and just fix 
the units  inside? It would save some cable, keep the high voltage far 
---From other equipment, be on a neutral c&g point and save space for other 
gadgets in the fuselage. Comments please! Jos Okhuijsen, #600, close to

I mounted my Whelen  strobe power packs (HTS, CF) on small inspection 
hatches just inside the wing tips on the lower surface. Works fine, no 
interference. I have had mine in service for 2 1/2 years, no reliabilty 
problem so far.

On the subject of oil pressure sender reliability, I secured the sender 
body with a large 'P' clip to minimise vibration.
