I am at the stage where I am fitting my wingtips for the RV-14, and am trying to defer most larger purchases until when I actually need them in the spirit of waiting to see if prices either come down, or technology changes, etc.
I notice many builders purchase their lighting up front when they are building the wings, and then it sits in those wings for years depending on the speed of the rest of their build.
How difficult is it to add the lighting at the end? I suppose many do it early on so that they don't have to deal with more cutting, fitting or perhaps they don't want to remove the tips. Is there a reason for me to spend an extra $1200 now (AeroLed nav plus I would order the tail strobe as well)?
I think the landing lights are easier and I will wait for those.
Thanks.
