Installation
1. Remove the Model S tail position light by removing the two (2)
retainer ring screws.
2. This unit fits directly in place of the Grimes Model S tail position light.
It is however sometimes necessary to open the mounting hole in the
aircraft fairing to 1.10 inch, to clear the body of the A500A. The body
protrudes 1.40 inch into the tail fairing.
3. Establish the proper light pattern of the A500A tail position light. The
retainer shield must be located so that the bottoms of the V notches are
vertical (parallel to the rudder) to shadow the light so it will produce a
horizontal light pattern of 70 degrees left & right of straight back of
aircraft.
