Is there a place to get a moulded vertical cap? Or is it best to fabricate it, I have a strobe to install on it.
Any help with this is much appreciated.

The horizontal tail tip off a PA-30 or PA-24 can be modified to work well too.

Ok, thanks, I will keep my eye out for that horizontal tip. I have some sheet al that I may work with too. Are the molds for fiberglass or working metal?
