What the hell is that and why do you need it.Particularly if you are

Hello Kolber flyers,
I am covering my left wing. I installed a Lift Reserve Indicator probe
with a plate, that weights about 11oz, in the next bay out board of the
strut mount on my left wing. Should I add an equivalent amount of weight
in the right wing for balance?
Thanks,

LRI's are basically angle of attack indicators. I suppose you could
argue that you don't need them on an ultralite (type) a/c, but then, we
don't know how he intends to use the a/c. US Navy pilots depend on AOA
indicators to land on carriers safely, and some 'bush' pilots do, too.
As far as balance goes, odds are high that component tolerances and
build errors will easily mask an 11 oz weight difference. On a plane
with wing tanks, just over 0.1 gallons of fuel difference between tanks
would cause that much imbalance.
