If you’re going to install nav lights, they have to be on the correct wing. Red on the left and green on the right—not the way they are shown in these photos. I have discovered four airplanes so far that have had them installed on the wrong wing. It’s easy to do when the wings aren’t attached to the fuselage and are perhaps upside down and in the shop. Interestingly enough, this particular airplane has been flying for quite a few years at a tower-controlled field.
