Strobe lens replacement
I have a 78' M5-235 that need the plastic strobe lenses replaced, they are all yellowed. Does anyone know where to get them, part number or any info.

Have you checked with The Maule Factory? I’m sure they are in stock. If not they should be able to point you in the right direction.

My IA replaced mine a few years back with glass lenses. Look great and holding up perfectly. Aircraft Spruce has these 2 options:
Polycarbonate: https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/ ... kkey=40053
Glass: https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/ ... kkey=40053

Re: Strobe lens replacement
I looked at the ones you posted but they don't match the lens I have. My lens has a lip around it to lock it into the cover, the ones you posted does not have that lip. Do you have the same wing tip lights as I do?

Re: Strobe lens replacement
Looking closely at the glass lense on Aircraft Spruce, I think I see a lip on it. Check the dimensions in the questions section.
Not sure if those are a match for what I have or not...
My old lenses looked like yours. If memory serves me correctly, my IA said he used nav light lenses. Sorry I can’t provide a definitive answer.

Hey Capt,
If your strobe is an A650 and you can deal with my schedule Inplan on ditching my green side whelen 650 for an led replacement. PM me if you are interested.

No, they aren't Whelen A650's. I don't know who made these. they are the original strobe/nav lights that cam with the plane. The lens is plastic.
