Hi all
I'm slowly getting my leading edge sections ready for priming and assembly and am wondering why everything seems to go in the left wing?
Since I'm only installing a single Duckworks HID landing light, is there any reason it has to go in the left, as opposed to the right? Convention seems to dictate the stall switch and pitot tube all go in the left as well. Is there a good reason for using the left? Opinions welcome.
Thx.

The only reason I could think of would be for shorter runs to the left side of the instrument panel, but there’s not much difference if you use the right side. Of course, if you put the landing light in the right side, its weight could help balance the weight of all that stuff in the left side.

You could move all the stuff you mentioned to the right side, but I'd still put the landing light on the left because that 's the side you'll be on (most likely) and the light's coverage will be more to that side of the plane. The mounting kit isn't really designed for left-right adjustment so you'd have to tinker to get the light aimed just right if you put it on the right side and wanted to optimize the lighting target area for the left seat. Not a show stopper by any stretch, but also not really something worth wasting time on IMO. Every mod, no matter how simple seems to add a lot of extra time to the build. Unless you have a good reason to relocate things from one side to the other, I recommend following the plans and build on. YMMV....

If you only put one light in, you want it on the left side, the pilot side. If you put it on Rt side when taxing you do not get full vision. Rt side landing, left side taxi.
Just my two cents.

I like the thought process. Why on the Left? The balance of CG from Left of Center to Over Center coupled with the reflection of light off of objects at a distance is easy with the old "Angle of Reflection Rule". Having twice as many Landing lights is fine, but I like the pursuit of CG as a reason for going to the Right. Our entire fleet has Pulse-Lights and both Landing/Flare circuits.
Then there are those on the list that know I am no fan of the left and always right leaning.

Just to let everyone know, I am going to pulse the wing tip lights, and intended to use them for taxi/landing if need be. I kind of figured having the landing light as close as possible to being in-line with the PIC would be the proper way to go.Â
Â
None the less, I will ensure I'm able to add another HID to the right wing in the future if need be.
Â
Hmmm, maybe I'll move the pitot tube to the right side....
Â
Thx guys, Rick

My roll servo and aileron trim is in the right wing. They are by far heaver than the pitot tube and stall warning that are in the left wing. Also there are 7 wires to the servo and 5 (i thing) to the trim, filling up the conduit.Â

Personally, I really like the dual HID's so much that my advice
is to cut the hole in each wing for the kit...and if you only
want one side for now, just do one side. But some day you'll
probably want one in the other side, and cutting the wing won't
appeal to you later.

I have the pitot on the right, because when I started I had this vision of the simple Van's pitot on the left, a heated pitot on the right. Well, that vision went away, and now there's an OAT probe in the hole where Van's pitot would have gone.

Larry, after I wrote the reply below, I started thinking exactly as you have, and realized my -10 will have the servo and trim just like yours, so I guess I will leave "well enough alone".
