A friend was installing a Whelen tail light beacon on his airplane and found that the old light was a lot thinner, so it wouldn't fit in the hole.

About this model

A friend was installing a Whelen tail light beacon on his airplane and found that the old light was a lot thinner, so it wouldn't fit in the hole. I printed a spacer to install it. The Whelen drawings show it being 0.96" below the flange, so I planned it at 1" (well, 25.4mm) but obviously you can shrink the Z axis to fit a hole that's too shallow.
