GW Increase

O-2A's regularly flew with 5400 lbs in Nam, and that was without winglets.

I would trust the airplane the way it left the factory unless there was a compelling reason to change it, and this ain't one. Why open yourself up to 100 hr required inspections for the rest of the aircraft's life?

As above

I personally wouldn’t want to be the second person to find out about wing separation with this mod.
