Lew, I'm haven't personally done it but a guy with an ES at my airport has used Fiberfax and has made some stainless steel shrouds as a barrier between the ...
Guys, I assumed (wrongly) that our gear legs would be maintenance free. So I didn't install the IV jack points that were recommended to me by the other ES...
My own opinion is that it would be better to put a shield around the pipe as described below to cut off the heat at the source than to insulate the recipient...
Skip, I'm copying your method of building seats and am just now getting the narrowed seats welded back together. Question is the side bolsters - from your...
Gary, The side bolsters aren't really necessary. We removed all the foam from my seats and what I have now is simply what my interior shop put in. The sides...
To everyone I just recieved the quick drain valve that Mike recomended. Aircraft spruce pn 06-00637. A thought that occured to me, was to put a access panel or...
I use the oil change opportunity to make sure that everything under the hood is still holding together. Taking the cowl on and off every now and then is a good...
Ron - Great idea, and just in time for us to do if we decide to do it. We have the the quick drain valve and are finishing the oil door and other cowling body...
Hi Ron, I would recommend that you take advantage of the time when you change the oil to do a real good inspection of the engine and area inside the cowl. If...
Mike, I do not know what the IV jack points look like, but I believe Kirk has a pair of jack points on the bottom of his fuselage. I recall seeing them when...

Rick, I think the IV jack points have to be modified to fit the ES, or you could make your own. Since you're still at the factory, maybe you could check them...
Here are some pictures of my jack points. The LNC4 jack points are too long, and the bolt holes don't line up to work without either re-drilling, or cutting...
Nice work Ron, Where did you get those mounts made up? That looks like something I could add to my plane. You never got back to me on my last e-mail- any word...
Skip, I made my jack points. Just bought some steel rod, drilled and tapped it to fit the jack cups, welded a cap on top and a mounting plate on the side,...
here is a picture of the LNC4 jack point from Lancair, and another picture of one I made. I think I have a picture of them side by side, but can't find them...
Ron, I noticed in your jack-point pictures that your fuselage cross member with the boomarang appears to be carbon. Did it come that way? Did you build it...
Hi Ron - I'd like to install a couple of these in the glare shield while it is in the "fitting" stage. What is the part # and where did you get them? I looked...
I wanted to get back to you guys on my insurance through SkySmith, with AIG. First of all, they are treating the ES as a separate type, so we aren't being...
Fellow ES Groupies, I was recently out at Redmond and there were three ES's in the buildshop. I had an opportunity to go out to dinner with three guys just...
To Everyone: I bought some exhaust tunnels from Brad Simmons. They were made from a legacy cowl. Attached is some pictures so everyone can get an idea of size...
Just to add on a little. Attached is a quick reference list. This is the order in which I did my project. Keep in mind, this list could be 30 pages long if...
Ron, I'm thinking about doing the same thing. I'd like to get a little more exit air and streamline the tunnels a little better. Any strategy for the ...
Mike I paid 225. I am going to fit them first on the plane. Drill all the cleco's, get them lined up etc. I will leave extra material aft and shape it for...
Ron, Are you still having cooling issues??? What are your oil temps?? I thought the new oil cooler solved your problem?? Just curious, Drew ... From: Ron Raby ...
Guys, For those considering the Legacy exhaust tunnels, I can tell you that mine have provided plenty of ample cooling flow for my engine. I can't believe...
