Re: Weight savings with Carbon Pushrods

Chris, great writeup. What do you expect will change for control forces for pilots while flying?

Re: Precise Flight Speedbrake Switch

Usually a broken or weak spiral spring inside the speedbrake. I went through this with a Mooney. The speedbrakes are incredibly simple to take apart. If they are out of Precise’s warranty, I recommend pulling them out and inspecting. You can order replacement parts from Precise. Sent from my iPhone ...

Re: Where to put Build Manuals, Checklists, Service Bulletins, etc?

Bob, probably the best place is

Code: Select all

. However, I think phpbb can host large files, but it won’t be as searchable. Another way we could host is Stickie threads for each of the model sub threads. We’re open to other suggestions as needed.

Re: Internal Engine Humidity

Chris, this is great information. I really like how you back your experiments with data. That takes the guesswork out of proposed solutions.

IO-550N Tach Sender - Best One?

My tach sender is going out. I have Bendix mags and hear that the UMA 10-02433 sender is the one to get. Looking at Aircraft Spruce, they only offer the TSO version. Is there a version for Experimentals? If not, I'll pay the $142. Is there a better place to order from?

Re: Minor Forum Issues

If the Smilies and the Topic Icon lines just went away forever, that would be fine with me. The Lancair Live! banner at the top could also be half the height to preserve more room for content. I like whitespace as much as anyone, but there is quite a bit of padding on these screens that could be tr...

Re: Ownership of Lancair aircraft

BTW, the fact that there isn’t strong responses to a proposal like the one I’m making is itself evidence that this forum DOES NOT HAVE critical mass. But don’t let that stop viewers of this forum from weighing in. My honest personal opinion, possibly to the chagrin of the some LOBO folks (I don’t k...

Re: Lancairs are Magic Carpets

Just flew 13 hrs in two days! Phoenix to Pecan Plantation and back.
