Wingtip mods

[rwarre]

Looking for the mod for the w415 flat top wings so I can install the led nav strobe lights. Does Vans still sell it?

I recently went through this.. I bought the lenses that Flyboys sells, they are a little small,, but I fiberglassed the flanges into the wingtip, then mounted the Fly LED original boards. I wish I could have found the larger 120 degree lenses, but what I created came out really nice. You have to be good with fabricating a little unless you can find the original lighting kit that Vans doesn’t sell anymore.

Or get something like this (NAV/position/strobe) that mounts on the outside edge of your wingtip. No need for a tail light on your rudder bottom. No need to cut a notch in your wingtip LE and make/install a lense.

This is a better option if you aren’t looking for a project for sure!!
