Dick Johnson wrote one some time back, but I don't remember which issue.
Sorry. However, I believe he concluded that the distance at which the
strobe was noticeable during the day was so relatively short that there
was minimal benefit to the installation.

Some years back there was an article (maybe several?) in SOARING magazine
about installing tip strobes on gliders ...
Anyone remember/know what issue(s) that was in? I'm researching collision
avoidance stuff (again, still . . gr)
(Boy, do I wish there was a good INDEX to Soaring! I've got every copy
since 1966 and a few going back to 1937, making a fantastic resource that's
darn near unusuable because there are no complete indices (and the few that
were printed back in the seventies and eighties are poorly organized . . .))
