<<One other thing about wing tip mounting:  It looks cool.  From the ground
and
from the pilot's seat.>>

One reason (besides the way cool look) I am planning to put halogen lights
in the wingtip is the safety aspect.  I find that a single light off in the
distance looks like just another star and there is no distance awareness.
Lights on the wingtips make the plane far more visible, I find.  Alternately
flashing them is probably better yet.  I haven't got it all figured out yet,
but I would also like to put two taxi lights in the underside of the wing
root fairing angled slightly out.  Anyone done this?  This would light up
the back side of the prop some, but I would think not too bad.
