Hi ALL,   I have a small question and would love to hear your advice....on my Kitfox 4 I also have the 2 leaf spring,and am considering change to the newer 3 spring,I have had no prblems yet with a tt of 82hrs,but after listening to yall I might down the road.......Do I need to do another weight&balance when I change out from a 2 leaf to a 3 leaf tail spring?

  

  I know this might be a stupid question,but when I added my landing lights my IA made me do another W&B,

  

 Thanks Mark....N61AC

I wouldn't think you'd have to do another W&B, just calculate where  

the additional weight is going (the arm) and figure it in. Same for  

the landing lights, I would think...but I've been wrong before.

Simple math Mark, but yes I would make another sheet.  If many changes are 

made or you are unsure of the cog then I would reweigh.    Ron NB Ore

This far  North we have to do another W&B if the weight of the aircraft has changed by  more than 10% since the last W&B.  Smaller changes can be documented  with an amendment to the W&B.  you would still have the paper work but  don't have to go get scales and level wings etc. etc..  Check with your AI.   I'm pretty sure there is a similar procedure south of the  lakes.
