...but it's warm and dry.
Im jealous. The hangar I have my plane in (shared) is far from warm. I figured winter in BC wasn't going to be very flyable, so it was a great time to do a bunch of heavy maintenance and upgrades.

I regret that decision.

I did spring for the Whelen LED tail light just recently. Doesn't have blinky-blinky, but its bright enough to arc weld with!
Your nav lights look really good. I have a wingtip strobe kit laying around that I have yet to install, and I want to add LED nav lights at the same time. Been going back and forth on what brand to use.

AEROLED's are in the process of getting these PMA/TSO approved:

Yours is a G model...it didn't come with nav/strobe assembly in the wingtip?

By the time they get to Canada, you and I are looking at $1500 + labor for an STC'd Whelen/Aeroled/Aveo wingtip nav/strobe assembly. That's where I draw the line. I understand that flying is expensive but I have a 40 year old Cessna not a new Boeing...I'm not buying $1500 light bulbs.

Nope. That was an option, and the original owner never ticked that box.

I do have a strobe up on the top of each fin though.
Over time I plan on having the thing lit up like a Christmas tree.

LEDs = Turn em on and leave em on.
I'm a big fan of being seen.
