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,

Nick Cassara

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.
