I'm almost done with my empenage and I was going to order the tail light. When I went to Van's site and looked in the Accessories Catalog for lights I got totally confused (not had for me) . I know I'm fairly new so.....I though I would ask for some advice.
The catalog says "Builders of the RV-7/7A, RV-8/8A, RV-9/9A and RV-10 aircraft using the new sheared wing tips must use Lighting SYSTEM 6." I just ordered my wings so since it should come with sheared wing tips, I assume I must use the SYSTEM 6, right?
The SYSTEM 6 comes packaged like this.....
SYSTEM 6: Includes position lights, wingtip strobes and a combination tail light/strobe.
1ea A650-PG-14 Green position light & strobe
1ea A650-PR-14 Red position light & strobe
1ea A413A-HDA-CF-14 Comet flash power supply
1ea HD-60-1 Installation package
1ea A441-3 3-pin connector
1ea A442-3 3-pin socket
1ea A500-14 Combination tail light/strobe
It all costs $780 . Is this good? Should I go another route? In addition since my wings are on the way, should I buy the Leading Edge Landing/Taxi Light Kit from Duckworks or..............?
Thanks in advance for any info you might have.
