There's at least one described in there. Worth having.

I planned to do this with mine, but never got to it. The last 9 mos of construction I put a freeze on mods due to scope creep. I had to get her done. Now that they are painted, I can't bring myself to alter them. Some day I'll get to it.

I'm not sure I would do that. Those wing tip skins are part of the box structure that make our wings so strong. Cutting the leading edges may not be such a good idea.
Note, the landing light holes many of us cut are way out in the last bay where there is very little stress.
Wingtip storage lockers.
I built storage lockers in both wingtips of Grezdlitn about ten years ago. They will hold a lot of stuff. I carry my tiedowns, canopy cover, spare qt. oil and cleaning supplies. Works to perfection. Not waterproof but non of this stuff would be hurt by a little moisture.
