I recently installed mine at the leading edge of the wingtips, not in the plastic. It was fairly easy. It seems one would have to remove the tank to install them adjacent to the tank to put them in as easily. Shorter wires seem to be the only advantage near the tank. It would also be more difficult to service them inboard, at least if you make the wingtips removable with screws.

Many cantilever wings' torsion resistant strength is based on the "D" section formed by the main spar and the leading edge skin. Since there is no, or very little, torque at the tip of the wing, it is the most likely place for a cut-out in the leading edge skin. Van's Aircraft can tell you if a cut-out near the tank, as you considered, would adversely effect the wing strength. Personally, I would not make a cut-out there. Leon York
