Guys, It appears Lancair has issued a SB for the screws in the Ram Air system. Attached is a copy of one specifically addressed to Legacy, but it is the same...
Paul, SB067 is the highest number shown on the Lancair site. Makes you wonder what SB068 is all about! I've contacted Lancair twice to let them know about...
I just got a Harbor Freight flier that has some inexpensive HID lights. Two units for $180, not bad. Anybody interested in splitting a set? 12V only. ...
I liked the idea of HID landing lights molded into the front of my main gear wheelpants, but never got around to doing that. I kept wondering about the heat...
Greg, I installed a taxi light on my left wheel pant. Looks okay, and works, but... I had to go to a off-road heavy duty all metal light enclosure to get it to...
Greg, Ron Grob's ES has the wheelpant landing lights installed by Chuck Brenner. Ron Galbraith flies that plane, but I'm not sure if he's flown it at night. ...
I was having a conversation with a guy at my airport and he was talking about putting a Mode C transponder in a new plane he's having built. Does anybody know...
The contracted-for IOC (initial operational capability) date for the system is 2020. Given the success the industry has had in meeting schedules I wouldn't...
Ron G., Didn't that plane you took to Puerto Rico have a NACA scoop for fresh air up on the pilot's side ? Do you have any photos of where it was located - ...
Greg, The ES I flew in PR did have a NACA duct on the LH side. It was T'd off with two hoses running to each side of the instrument panel with wemacs. Lot's...
Greg, I can't comment on the PR plane. However, I have thought about the front scoop/vents for a while and have looked at several on other aircraft. One ...
Greg, I have already had to rebuild the adapter on both the ES and the Legacy. The warning signs are slipping and slow revolution for starting. Kris Greg...
Kris, Did you replace Iskra starter with another brand, or you continue using the same starter? Greg ... From: Kris Storkersen To: Lancair_ES@yahoogroups.com ...
I rebuilt the starter adapter. I do recommend replacing the starter with a different brand if it is available. Kris Greg Ratajski <greg.ratajski@...>...
Is that NACA scoop below the rudder pedals? It seems like that would be a tight fit with the rudder cables. Do you have photos of how he routed the duct on the...
Ron & Steve - thanks for the photos - they helped. Steve - do you have a photo of the ductwork on the inside? I remember seeing a NACA scoop somewhere that had...
I came straight out to a flange which is behind the side panel. Not the best solution, but simple to do. Steve _____ From: Lancair_ES@yahoogroups.com...
To everyone What about using the heating system to get fresh air up front? A by pass valve could be used to divert the air away from the heat exchangers and...
Nice idea Ron, I like the idea of having a true "fresh air" NACA. I never have liked the idea of the heater taking its induction air from the engine...
I had a problem with a too hot panel, after about 45 minutes in flight the sides of the center avionics stack were too warm to leave your hand against it! This...
Someone asked about electronic logbooks. I've tried them all, and the best by far is Logbook Pro www.logbookpro.com I don't even use a regular logbook...
I have a theory that might make sense, although the only data point I have disputes it. If the main gear deflects to the rearward (as it does during braking)...
Gary - Your posting added more to my thinking (informed enormously by Skip's work, Fred Moreno's and others trying to make sense of this phenomenon). I believe...
