I am planning on it. I just got back from Oshgosh. I believe as long as your order by August 14th you save about 10%. It was just released before the show and the folks at the show asked me to place the order when I got home.

Right, 15% if ordered by 8/15.

Does the $3K+ include the wingtips as well as light system? Dues that also include the power supply? If you get those CF wingtips I would not count on the Archer style VOR antenna to work for those that want to install them. |

Yes. No mention of whether it has or needs a power supply. Good point about the Archer antenna.

Two things I learned today via email with Ryan at Aeroleds:
- It will be MFG’d in either Carbon Fiber or Fiberglass. If you want to go fiberglass, then you can still put the VOR antenna in the wingtip.
- To get the discount you need to order now and put down 50%. Shipping in Q1 2023.
I am going to ask about power schematics, wig wag, and integration with tail light too.

I ordered the -14 wing kit with AeroLEDs in February, set to crate soon, and was under the impression the wingtips were included. Is that incorrect? This topic is an additional option and cost?

These are aftermarket wing tips. You would save a few hundred dollars deleting the stock wing tips and mounting hardware/structure. With this wing tip you could also substitute stock OB LE wing skin with one that doesn't have the cutout for the lights, but it'll cost you an extra $100/skin. The net cost of these tips would get closer to $3k overall.

Pet peeve: "Lose" (rhymes with "booze") is the opposite of "find". "Loose" (rhymes with "juice") means "not tight".
