I've heard (on this forum? can't remember) that the film is of an RC model that really did lose a wing and was landed, and a real plane. The conclusion is...
Guys, I ordered a fan for the vent system with my initial order of course it is 12 volts and I have decided to go to 24 volts. What I am wondering is for the ...
Dan, I don't know anyone who's built an ES who wouldn't strongly recommend a cabin fan. I'd definitely plan for it. If you decide you don't need it (not...
Dan, The fan comes in handy while on the ground. In the air, it's not needed. I'm getting ready to install an additional NACA scoop/vent on the left side of...
Dan, You will be happy you installed the fan, works great on the ground taxiing. The Tru Trak servo installation worked very well. I believe the installation...
Dan, Where I live, southern New Mexico, where day time temps are over 100 deg. for about four months a year the fan is a necessity while on the ground. I taxi...
Gordon, I've been flying over two years and have the fan. It works great for the cabin. The problem is my radio stack: (top to bottom) Audio panel, Dynon...
Gordon, You wrote to Tom but here is my take on it. I am going to add two NACA ducts on the lower cowling, one for the oil cooler and one for some more air...
Thanks to Tom and Henry.  I was speaking of an avionics fan. We have a Piper Lance with a 480, MX20, Stec 55, etc. and have a cooling fan. It seems to...
Gordon & Henry - If the problem is cooling air in the cabin, why put the NACA scoops on the lower cowling? Wouldn't you have to either feed the cold air into...
Yes, I agree. The best place to put another NACA scoop for instrument cooling, additional cockpit airflow is just behind the cowling.....in the fuselage. RonG...
Ron et al, In my case the problem is two fold. The oil cooler on my IO-550-N runs too hot. So one of the NACA ducts would be dedicated to that alone. The other...
Just my opinion, but the ambient cabin temp is significantly cooler than under the glareshield, so I think the problem can be solved with better circulation of...
I agree with Mike about louvers or fans in the top of the glairshield along with a cooling fan or fans. The hot air just sits there without them. If that is...
Just an announcement that there is a new Lancair ES builder in the Tampa Bay area. Recently purchased a kit in progress. (Details below). I will probably have...
Hi Brad, I am sure that we are please to have you in the group. There will always be questions so there is no need for an apology. Too bad that you missed the...
Welcome to the group Brad. Be sure to check out the archives to see what some of the discussions have been, and check out the photo sections to get some...
Brad, Don't be afraid to ask questions, just be prepared for several good answers! I hope to meet you at Sun 'n Fun in April. We'll have a few ES's there...
Thanks. I've been reading through them. Lot's of good information. I will be away on Thanksgiving to pick up the kit and visit family, don't quite have it yet...
Mike, I don't see any attachment? I will be at Sun and Fun for sure. The shop is at hidden lake airport, not to far from Sun n Fun, so that would be great. ...
Welcome to the ES family; your starting up a great life achieving adventure, enjoyed by many around the world, enjoy!  Joaquin  ... From: brad_grandorff...
Mike, which louver vents did you use and were can I get them. Also do you more info on the fan mod for the MX20?  Joaquin ... From: mikeeasley@......
Mike, I get vertical lines on my MX20 occasionally, also. I had contact with Garmin as well as my local avionics guys and eventually determined that the lines...
Jim, What kind of heater did you put in the cabin and how do you power it? My back seaters freeze on cold winter flights and I can't seem to get enough heat...
Skip, I used the Lancair suggested heating system with a couple of exceptions. I do not have an auxiliary heater for the rear. You are right in that the cold...
Thanks Mike.  What material did you use for the glareshield top cover, which I would guess it stands up very well to heat and sun rays?  Joaquin ... From:...
Joaquin, My glareshield is covered with a high quality vinyl that matches my leather. It's dark gray. There are times that I wish it was black, but black...
