Okay, long story short but um... After a rather ugly day of flying, and being a bit fatigued, I encountered a bit of.. um.. hangar rash.

Long story short I smashed the Whelen A650 into the hangar door. Didn't hit the wingtip, but the A650 PR/PG was pretty much toast.

Curious if anyone has an suggestions for the best replacement ideas... LED's, ebay, etc? I can do some simple things, but plug n play would definitely be preferred. I know the Orion 650 is an option but I already have the power supply installed for the strobes. Be nice to remove the extra power supply, but that requires maybe more work than I want to do.

The originals are way more expensive than LED's, but it's all PMA/FAA approved, and I was hoping someone might have a more "experimental" option/ideas. Or does anyone have one they want to sell (Green)? :)

Any thoughts are appreciated!
