From: "Martin C. Walker" <mwalker@networksentinel.com>


All

I am currently considering an RV-4 for purchase that is strictly day VFR. 
It has no lights whatsoever.

I'm trying to figure out what the level of cost an effort would be to
install nav/position lights and taxi and landing lights.

Any ideas?  What are my different options such as wing-tip vs cowling
placement for lights?

Thanks

Hi Martin,

The cost part is easy for you to figure out. Just price the lights you want. The
level of effort is the tough one. Did the builder drill the holes through the
wing ribs for wiring before skinning? Did they drill the lightening holes in
the wing ribs? If there are no holes to get the wires through the wings to each
tip, it would be a giant pain in the posterior. If they are there, it will
be a good project for you this winter.
