You need to check out Johnson Creek, 3U2, near Yellowpine, ID. One of the nicest
grass runways around with free camping next to your plane, it is a great place
to visit. The only challenge is that it lies in a north-south running valley
and I am unsure of the orientation relative to the eclipse.
Another consideration is Smiley Creek, U87, another free campsite. It is more
open and near the headwaters of the Snake River.
Both of these sites, and there are others, are courtesy of the Idaho Dept. of Aeronautics.

MY tailcone intersection fairing, at first glance, look quite nice. I haven't got
any other pieces as of yet.
Cheers

Hi
On of the things I am doing on this build iteration is better forward planning
for wiring etc. I am trying to male wiring as simple and easy as possible.
To that end I have started thinking about lighting especially strobes etc. There
seems to be a ton on LED options available now. My flying 10 as HID lights
from Lopresti but that, I don't think, is an option anymore.
I'd be interested in hearing about what more recent builders are using and their evaluation of the results. I have read good things about https://www.bajadesigns.com. Any comments?
Also, my lights are in the wing tips. I was this time round I would install then
in the wing leading edge.
I also see that Aerosport has a system that allows cowl installation.
Decisions, decisions.
Any comments.

FWIW, I used nutplates for all the f/g tips. That way you can remove for paint
or repair in the case of hanger rash.
As sure as God made little green apples, when you make something difficult to
remove, you will want to remove it.
Just saying...

I installed LED lights from AeroLed. Sunspots for leading edge landing lights.
Microsun's for taxi lights in the tips. Pulsar Nav/strobes. Suntail for
the rudder.
Really happy with the setup.
I have a Garmin and Dynon magnetometer in the right wing tip. I was concerned
with how the LED's would affect their behavior. After running through G3X
interference from Garmin, I had absolutely no issues. In fact the lights don't
even register. (Oddly enough, the ailerons moving to the L&R extremes had
the greatest effect - but not enough to fail the test."
The leading edge lights used the Duckworks leading edge mount. I found be sunspots
to be slight too large for their factory PAR 36 hole, so I had to open them
up a bit more to get the lights to drop in.
I have been very happy up to now and the patterns I get (on the ground still) are
really effective and bright. The LE lights light up he area in front of the
plane. The Taxi lights do a great job illuminating he edges of the taxiway.
Our runway is lit but once you're on he ground the unlit taxiways can be tough
to navigate because you can't see the edges or where the turns are located
without making S-turns down the taxiway sweeping your Landing lights o the edges
as best you can. The microsuns really filled that need.
