Marty G Member M Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 40 Likes: 1 Viola, WI	I have a 1964 150D that is not currently night VFR legal, it doesn't have a beacon or strobes currently. I'm looking to get it legal in the most economic way possible (ideally used/salvage parts). Just looking to see if any members have anything lying around that would help me out. Also, any tips are welcome regarding the best way you've done this to your plane. Marty G 1964 150D

If the latter, I have a beacon mount fairing for you. Only fits the D/E models (they’re the only straight tails with balanced rudders). Put a beacon or strobe in it, and you’re legal.

Also have a beacon which needs a clean up and a new bulb. Will dig them out this week. Originally these were in a 75 150M. Martin Wilson 150M. C-GEKT. Katie CAH3

Landing Light - only if for hire. But more than nice to have. Strobes - optional but nice. Graeme J W Smith www.graemejwsmith.com [graemejwsmith.com]

Marty G Member M Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 40 Likes: 1 Viola, WI	@Atlantic Svcs Yeah I noticed that, but I don't have a beacon either. I think if I have to choose whether to add a beacon or strobes, I'll pick the strobe for better visibility. Marty G 1964 150D
