Maybe it's to help balance the side-by-side airplanes when being flown
solo? I know it's not much weight, but it's that much less trim you
have to apply...

Karie - as I understand it, the Duckworks light is a single-filament (not
high/low, like an automobile headlight) that can be adjusted for EITHER a
landing or a taxi angle. How will you accomplish both with a single
light?

Last summer I bought 2 of the Duckworks landing light kits. After getting
the first
one installed I decided one light and cutting a hole in one perfectly
good
wing would be enough.

Thanks everyone for all of the replies. At least I haven't done anything I
shouldn't have by putting it in the left wing. Given the comments regarding
having one in each wing I might just go ahead and install one in the other
wing for max visibility and redundancy.
Thanks again,

I've noticed most kits with only one landing light mount them in the right
wing. Mine is in the left.

You can install mine in both wings without cutting the leading edges...
