...from anyone that has installed AeroLED Aerosun VX Wingtip landing lights and pulsar or NS combination nav/strobe lights, AND a Bob Archer model 1 wingtip Nav Antenna. I have been looking at Archer antennas on the ACS website and pouring over the Forums here, and while I am able to find several "external" photos of the wing tip lighting, I cannot find ANY that were taken of the inside guts of the wingtip.
I basically want to get a feel for clearances when incorporating an Archer wing tip antenna with the tip lights mentioned above, and also find out what issues anyone may have had while performing this installation. I'm also curious about any 8s that are now flying with this installation and what issues or reports you may have about that. I already have the lights, but I don't have the antenna yet.
I have been reviewing many VAF threads circa 2014 through 2016 about wing tip light installations. This revealed that there is ALOT of text-based discussion on this topic, but unfortunately not very many photos are posted.
Since it is my firm belief that pictures are worth well more than a thousand words in most cases, I'm really looking for some pics of the inside of your wingtips that show relative clearances of the previously mentioned components, and any advice for dealing with any issues with this installation.
