It's mine and all it is is silver rattle can paint applied from the 

inside of the lens. Jeff Bordelon (my LED nav/strobe lite guy) did this 

to his plane and I shamelessly copied it!

 That really looks great, Deems. Is that your airplane? What is the material that is covering the nut plates?

Now that looks like a "nuclear hardened" wingtip lens!

Same thoughts as Scott.  I have 194 hours with multiple runs a high speed with no issues on just 2 screws, but a few extra might provide some peace of mind.

Just to be the different one, I used only two screws and I have a great fit and so far I've had no problems.    

    

I've flown near the Vne 200 kts TAS and no problems.  Adding more screws makes sense though.    

    

It is not like you take the lens on and off very often and it doesn't hurt.   

    

So those of you with 2 screws, don't get too nervous.  It will work great and you will be able to care a couple more   

    

dimes in your pockets at gross.

Nice photoshop try, but you would need to colour around rivets and 

screws a bit better

And I copied yours! But used blue instead so they match my paint stripe

out there...we all copy the good ideas, and Deems has allot of them and

freely shares. 

The RV community is great about that, each of us trying to build a

better mousetrap and sharing that info with others!

I was just goofing around at my second home on a laptop with only the

touchpad and very limited time before flying out ahead of some

thunderstorms. Next time I email a Twin RV-10 I will take greater care

in cleaning up the photo.

I see you do not have a glass globe on your strobe. Is this not something to worry about?

It's not something I'm worrying about at the present. What is the hazard 

and related consequence that would be avoided with a glass cover? I'm 

not trying to be smart, I really don't know. The strobe is 'protected' 

from direct moisture by virtue of the plexi.
