Hey Guys, I wore a T-shirt last year at SNF with this graphic on it. Notice the modifications to the airplane! I couldn't resist changing the "Enough Said" ...
Bryan, My painter is on my airport, a very nice situation. I can do all the work, he comes by to check it, no charge. He walked around my plane with a...
Exactly correct. I have heard this a million times and changed sand paper about as often. Bryan ... From: mikeeasley@... [mailto:mikeeasley@...] Sent:...
Ron, That is pretty amazing considering that it includes paint. I will have about the same hours and will only be in primer. Take care, Popeye ... not count...
Really amazing!! I totaled my hours today and came up with 3135 man hours through last night - with what feels like a long way to go. I spent the first year...
Drew, Don't know how many hours I have in (haven't recorded them, just the steps) but I'm in the middle of finishing, a task I saved for last. Boy can I...
Group, I live in a very humid climate (DC), and I've noticed rust on bearing races in various bearing blocks. Any thoughts on how to deal with this? I...
Hi Dan, i'm in the "decide what to build" phase. Leaning towards the Legacy FG. Can you expand on "careful jigging and using weighted angle to close" or if is...
Definitely try to remove the rust as it is corrosion. Then coat with CPC (Corrosion Preventative Compound) It is not a lubricant but will keep moisture out....
Drew I know I missed recording some hours. It would probably add up to a couple hundred more. So we are really close in hours. And I am still not done. I am...
I'll pitch in on that question. We,ve closed out several wings on Lancairs here in the Memphis area and we use a combination of long one inch square steel bars...
Steve, I have attached a couple photos from the Lancair Builders Workshop when I closed my ES wings. I was a total "newbie" then and didn't even really know ...
Hang in there Dan, A fellow Lancair builder/friend told em that once I put the top on, the project was about half way done. Thankfully he was kidding, and ...

Has anyone looked at Lancair Service Bulletin #67? I stumbled across this by accident when talking to Lancair Tech support. The collar on my strut was not...
Dan, It's really easy to get a bunch of things "almost finished". It looks like you are making huge progress, but the really slow, tedious stuff is left....
Tim Ong recommended that we turn the fuselage over as early as possible after the wing fairings are done and do the gear fairings and gear strut fairings. Then...
Drew - We have an earlier kit than you do (pre-factory builder assist). The strut had the new collar. Our strut started leaking almost as soon as we got it ...
Tim / Vern, I have the older style welded one piece nose strut clamp. (Part # Z02E1014) Are you guys making the machined two part clamp available on request ?...
Steve, I did basically what Ron and Mike did, with several long pieces of angle iron running down the wing with shot bags and sand bags on top. I ran a couple...
OK, here's a challenging (if embarassing) question for the group. My rudder, the one control surface that I had someone else help build (!%$#@&*!), came out...
One thing that I recall and that I think everyone ended up doing was adding more weight. I left a pocket for this and actually ended up using it. Therefore,...
Dan, I took a look back through my photos of that area and it's hard to imagine that it got warped, even with the heavy weight of the lead. I'm sure you ...
I recall the left side of our rudder top "protruding" a bit when in the neutral position. More pronounced however, was the right side was concave - so we...
