John, I haven't gotten around to installing my .7" servo, but the plan is to have the new servo limits set so the up trim is the same and the down trim is ...
Henry, The only real downside of going to the .7" servo is some day you might be flying with a bunch of weight in the back with a very aft CG and run out of ...

Justin Hawkins with Lancair asked that the PDF file on servicing struts be posted because some of you may find it useful. I just posted it under the file...
Just tried Lancair but everyone who "might know" has gone home.......I am switching out my "new/old" Esco strut tonight and putting on new one.......the new...
Dave, The diameter of the bottom flange is the same so there's no modification required to the wheel pant. The collar isn't there so your bolts will be too ...
I purchased a dye penetrant kit from A/S and did some checking on my engine mount. I had an A&P make sure I was using it correctly. It worked great and ...
Mike, Looks like you get up early too! You are fast becoming the ES guru on engine mounts and metallurgy. Dye penetrant is fascinating, what will these...
Thanks Mike...got it on with no problems.....it did fit right in with same shim as old one. One comment on worrying about spacers behind bearings that strut...

Dave, My strut fits fine with the bearings fully inserted into the bearing blocks, with the spacers to hold them there. I had to chip the white paint from...
My airplane in the tree photo made it to AOPA Pilot this month! But you guys saw it first. Mike ************************************** See what's new at...
Congratulations Mike, does this count towards your 15 minutes of fame? Very nice juxtaposed elements. Henry -- mikeeasley@... wrote: My airplane in the...
Henry, In the true spirit of homebuilt aircraft, "why pay someone when you can do it yourself" I bought a kit from A/S for $60 and did my own checking for ...
Mike, Dye penetrant is almost as good as magnafluxing but a lot easier for the home builder to use. AS&S seems to suggest that they are the same thing, they...
Henry, The cross plate on the Lancair mount is only welded on the outside, so that's what we're planning to do on your mount. The welder confirmed that the ...
Thanks Mike, Dismantling and cutting will now begin. Will leave the engine mounted until the mount arrives. Henry -- mikeeasley@... wrote: Henry, The cross...
Henry, If you mark your bearing blocks before you remove them from your old mount, you'll have a good reference on where they need to be trimmed. The cross ...
Guys, this forum is a fast train to jump on, there is so much past discussion in the database. My question relates to the past and present. Are the engine...
Mac- It would help if you posted a picture of your engine mount looking at it from front to rear. It will be pretty easy to tell if you need to have it...
... *Are the engine mount cracks being discussed, due to poor design, faulty workmanship, shimmy, or combinations there of?* I suspect it's a combination of...
Mac, The photo should help to determine which mount, early or late, you have. Look for the 2 metal plates that form a partial box above where the nose strut...
I agree with Greg. Some real engineering data from Lancair would be helpful. We are making mods that we think will help but without good engineering we are...
Guys: I am Mac Taylor's son and new to the group as well. We're working on this project as a team effort so I will be posting questions, comments , etc. from...
Jay, Welcome to the group! I met your father in Fredericksburg. Based on your posted photo, your mount is definitely the new style (as is the strut). I do...
Jay, As Rick has said, your mount is Lancairs new style from what can be seen in the photo. Also it is interesting to note that the gussets are the largest I...
Henry, You are correct. I went back and looked at several other photos I have of my new style mount from Oct 05 (my actual mount is at the hanger). Mac's ...
Jay - Welcome aboard and we'll do our best to pass on the knowledge that mostly came from others on this list. Whata' gang. Your engine mount looks like the...
