I don't know if any of you have been keeping track on the LML about this crash, but I'd like to try to give you guys some insight as to "real world" stuff as...
Ron, Thanks for posting such a perfectly stated perspective from a controller's standpoint. As someone who flys for a living, I concur 100% with what you...
Skip, The reluctancy to use the Emergency word goes right on up to the Pro ranks, it's not limited to the little guys. I haven't kept track, but I've worked...
"The reluctancy to use the Emergency word goes right on up to the Pro ranks, it's not limited to the little guys." Very true, Ron I've flown with lot of...
Hi Ron. Are you in the bay area? If so, where? I might be in SF tomorrow and may be able to stop by to say hi and look at your ES for AHRS placement. To...
To everyone Here is a link to training for Lancair's. I took the ground school at Sun and Fun And at least two hours of the school was devoted to weather, ...
Things are quiet, too quiet! Now that Bryan & Mike are flying instead of building. I took a week off for a funeral, and have just under two weeks before my...
No, things are not that quiet. I am here and anxiously reading any and all messages that come along. Ask any question, offer any need, and I will certainly...
Greg, Interesting comment on the panel. I was intending to install aluminum panels in the fiberglass frame, hinging all but the center from the bottom. I read...
The left & right panel on mine each contain one EFIS screen over an SL-30 radio. The EFIS screen is only a few inches deep and it's mounted about 1.5" down...
It is the crossbow 500. So it must have a pretty sensitive magnet. I haven't had any problems because I was aware of the issues when it was installed. I am...
Paul, I love my Chelton. IT is pricey but what a pleasure. At sun n fun there must have been 10 more EFIS systems available. Anywhere from $3000 on up. This...
Greg - ... We've used this primer for everything so far. It did not spray at all well so we went to squeegee for the first coat to work the stuff into the ...
... Brian - Can you get the numbers and possibly a source for the Transtar and also the name, number and source for one you finally switched to? Thanks for the...
Steve, Thanks for the URL. The inital fuselage cut they describe should get me past the first sticking point, and the rest of the procedure looks logical and...
Attached are photos of my fuel system. Short (15") Flex lines run from the tanks, horizontally (no loops like the book shows) thru the fuselage side up to a...
Thanks, Greg, for the detailed narrative and pictures. One question is about the placement of the gascolator. From most of the stuff I've read, it is...
John, I bought a brass pipe from Home Depot to lower the drain on the gascolator so it just misses the cowl. I cut a 3/4" hole in the cowl directly below the ...
Bryan Below is my conversation with a profesional builder I have worked with about paint. These are all PP&G products. When I used the K38 I used the 1.5 tip...
Yeah - at first I thought the gascolator was required to be the lowest point in the system too. That was one of my first questions to Lancair when I saw how...
I used all braided stainless lines with #8 fittings. I believe this is .5" If I had to do it again I would not have any fittings between the wing and the...
Mine is on the floor, under the rear seat, right of the flap motor. I mounted it to a phenolic plate and bolts that had the heads floxed into the bottom of...
The old manual states that you want to have 30 degrees of rudder travel. The Fastbuild supplement has nothing on this. Have any of you been advised that you...
