I have bought one and would like to see a pix of where anyone who has installed one, has put the pickup under the wing. I have a 6A, but Im thinking probably would be same for all models. First thought was to mount it on the inspection plate, what do you think? My email is cheathco(at)cox.net (cheathco(at)cox.net) .( pix of glare shield indicator unit would be a plus) Charlie

Charlie:
I installed mine in my 6A in the cover for the wing access to the aileron bell crank.  The Lift Reserve guy suggested that location.  Seems to work there.  I should mention that I have a Catto three blade prop, which is 3 inches shorter in radius than most 2 bladed props used on 6A's.  That may be important in this regard, but I doubt it.

I also mounted my RV6A Lift Reserve Indicator on the bell crank inspection plate. I put the "meter" indicator atop the instrument panel cover so that it was within eyesight without moving my head. I could see it just by a slight shift in my eyeballs. I sold the plane and wish I had an LRI in my present plane. It is a great instrument.

I also put the pick-up on the inspection plate at the aileron bellcrank. I did add a doubler plate to the inspection plate in the immediate area of the mounting. My meter is in the panel just below the glare-shield over hang but still in the field of vision. Would not change anything.
