I wonder how many spare parts are really going to be available, and are the promised software updates going to be released? ;-(( John ... From: "Richard...
Hi Group, I'm at a point in building my right wing fairing that I could install a wire conduit to help route the wires from the front to back of the airplane....
John Bleich is building an ESP entirely at the factory build assist, which is where I met him. Many of you met him at the flyin's in Fredsburg, Fun n Sun, and...
Dan, I just finished installing and blending my gear fairings to my wing fairings. I mated the two halves of the gear fairing to the wing fairing with clecos...
I tried sending the files as well, but they were rejected because of the file size (1.3MB?? - doesn't seem too big). I'll put them in our N545MT folder...
FYI, I copied the idea from Tim O. I reinforced the area around the holes with a few bids of carbon. If I were doing it again, I'd think a bit more about...
I made conduits in the baggage area on both sides. They are duel purpose. The tops of the conduits are the shelf for my baggage storage area doors. Ron Raby ...
Seems like you left off #4 - which is to check the final crimps with a "go / no go" gauge. They make a special tool to check that the crimps are the proper...
Jay, I reduce my image size to either 600 or 800 pixels wide depending on the content of the photo and the file size is easy to send. Mike Easley Colorado...
Rick, You know you'll drive your interior guy nuts by running any wire bundles above the armrest! Mike **************************************See AOL's top...
Greg makes a very important comment, the go-no go gage. The really good tool to crimp nicopress sleeves is expensive and many of us have had to use the ...
Expanding the nico press discussion to other tools, I asked Justin at Lancair the secret to drilling stainless. His answer was cobalt and slow. A/S sells...
All, Since we're on the subject of needing the "official" tool, a while back I picked up a nico press tool on eBay. From the looks of it, it's never been ...
Hi guys, Mac and Jay thanks for posting that note. Yes it is very important that you confirm the crimping of the nicopress sleeve with a go-no go gauge or you...

Hi Pete, Thanks for the reply. I think I have the gear fairing and wing fairing blended together ok. What I am questioning is why the leg fairing shape ...
Pete, Sorry I didn't attach the picture. Dan _____ From: Lancair_ES@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Lancair_ES@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Pete Sinclair Sent:...
Rick, Thanks for your info. I think I will put it in on the right side, it is to late for the left. I guess at least I will be half right. Keeping the RF ...
Dan I put a 2 bid on the wheel fairing and cover where the gear leg fairing sticks in. That takes up some of the gap and also strengthens that area. Then you...
Dan sorry, I thought I was looking at the wheel fairing. similar problems though. Ron Raby ... From: Ron Raby To: Lancair_ES@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday,...
Dan - I just looked at your picture. We did it this way: Wrap three layers of duct tape around the leg fairing and then a layer pf package tape on top of that....
Dan, Just saw the photo. I haven't done my leg fairings yet, so I'm curious to see what the fix is. I have had a few folks recommend the hinge down the...
Ron, John, & Pete, Thanks for your reply; I will work those pieces until I get a better fit. I wish these parts were designed to fit tighter; I spent a lot of...
I used to, as part of a group, fly a cherokee with wheel pants out of an airport in Detroit. Somehow the group was emphatic about removing the wheel pants in...
I want to install wiring to my batteries so that a Battery Tender can keep them topped and ready during cold weather. I have a dual battery 12-volt system with...
Experience with wheel pants in the cold messy north. Slush/water in the wheel pant can freeze the brakes. Thus, it's more of a factor with the mains that with...
I have had an instance of the brake freezing up after take off and locking only the right main. Upon landing on a thin ice/snow covered runway the plane turned...
Another factor is our wheel pants are much closer to the ground than certified aircraft wheel pants. I tend to be more likely to used Rick's #3, "wait for...
Just a word of caution flying an ES without the main wheel pants. I've test flown many ES's on first flights with the wheel pants off, and "usually" just duct...
