Rudder Position Light

Rudder Position Light

This is Zenith's option for mounting a position light on the Cruzer rudder. Still considering it. Not sure if I want to cut into the .016 metal. Seems like it would weaken it.

David. Agreed. There is probably a stiffener under there somewhere and Zenith makes great products. Still thinking it over. It is priced fair enough to warrant ordering it verses fabricating too. Comparing this option to the wing tip mounted combination Nav/Strobe/Position lights at the moment.

Hi Brian,

Seems like if this is Zenith's option, they would have done the engineering to know it's fine.  Google Rudder Position Lights and you'll see many images that are similar to this.  Also, I'd guess that the hole is just big enough to pass the lighting wire.  It actually looks like a nice unit for the application and I suppose you could place it higher on the rudder if you wished.  Or take the bull by the horns and fabricate your own!  That's what homebuilding is all about!
