I know it's not much weight, but it's that much less trim you have to apply... -RB4 Karie Daniel wrote: > --> RV7-List message posted by: "Karie Daniel" > > For taxing at night is exactly why I put it on the left side, I can't figure > out why so many RV's have them on the right wing only?

How will you accomplish both with a single light?

After getting the first one installed I decided one light and cutting a hole in one perfectly good wing would be enough. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 06:56:58 PM PST US From: "Karie Daniel" Subject: RV7-List: Re: RV-List: Landing Light - What Wing --> RV7-List message posted by: "Karie Daniel" 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.
