I'm preparing the wing ribs now... the plans say to "make provisions for wiring if you want to install wingtip lights" (which I do). Questions:
1) I'm thinking the aft tooling holes are a good position for these, since the forward holes are used for the pitot line. Good plan?
2) How big do I drill these holes?
3) Grommets or conduit? I'm really trying to keep weight down, so I'm guessing grommets is a better choice? Where do I get the grommets, and what do i look for?
4) What sort of wiring do I need to get, where to I get it, and how much do I install? I want to have wingtip position lights. Will probably put strobe on the tail, and would like landing lights somewhere. Landing lights best on wingtips, or leading-edge? Suggestions??
I wish the plans gave you suggested configurations for installing lighting.... oh well, that's what VAF forums are for
Thansk!
