I'm building an RV-12 without recognition/landing lights because 1) I don't plan on flying at night, and 2) I'm trying to make this bird
as light as possible. My question is about strobe lights - is that a requirement?

Walt,
No, a strobe is not required unless Van's states it is in their builder's manual (if you are building the ELSAQ kit). In the case of the RV-12 I think Van's calls it optional equipment, but I'm not totally sure.

Walt,
While you might not plan on doing any night flying, look a little farther into the future. When you might want to sell your baby. Most pilots fly at night, any airplane not equipped with nav/landing/strobe lights would place it at the bottom of a buyers list.

As a contrary viewpoint, build the plane you want, not what you think
someone else might want. I don't fly at night or in bad weather, so I'm
going no lights, no gyros. Save a few pounds and few hundred dollars.
I'm not building to sell, I'm building this plane for me.

Brian, I concur with your thoughts. Besides, the 912 IS a light sport, which
appeals to guys like me who want to fly in the LSA category without a
3rd class medical. By rule, we can't fly at night.
By the way, are you related to Edward Chalmers Huffaker? He is from
my local area (Chuckey, TN) and did quite a bit of research on flight around
the late 1800's to early 1900's. He was with the Wright Bros at Kitty Hawk.
