Here is a reason to have removable tips. I just replaced my strobes and had to rewire the wing for the new system, This involved stringing a 5 wire cable vs the 3 wire that was originally in the wing. The original builder had fastened the old cable to a rib with a tie wrap as it exited the rear spar. If the tips were not removeable,I wouldn't have had access to that tie wrap.

  Removable tips also gave me access to spar/wing inspection. I did find a small amount of surface corrosion in my rear spar and was able to treat it from the wing tip access.

  I am very glad the builder had the forethought to make the wing tips removable.
