I use a door seal like yours on my Lancair ES. 10 years since build,
still functioning well (my decible level inside is equal to or less than
many who are using the inflatible seals). Not to menti ...

I installed mine in my Lancair ES, and they work great. Very economical
too.

Gary,

I have a kit (mostly completed) for sale.

The ES was originally designed for the Cont. 360 (210 HP).. Many were built. and fly well. Some folks have put Lycomings in (6 cyl.) and they do ...

Would be interested in finding out the part number he has, if it's

Many people JUST inspect the airframe for damage after a strike. Not a
good idea.

Some strikes magnetize the engine components (crankshaft, bearings, etc.)
causing metal in the oil to stick.

Gwayne,

We've overhauled several and converted them for RV-10 use. They appear
to work well.
If you wanted to up the HP, you could even increase it with very little
effort.

No problem. The alternators are BnC, mags are Slick, the pg is set for a
Hartzell prop. I'll have to check tomorrow on the oil cooler and
exhaust.

9.5:1 pistons, & crankshaft). This engine was removed from a Lancair,

Guys & Gals,

I (I'm a builder) have an IO-540 (100 hrs since overhaul and new crank).
It has 270 HP and all the accessories. It had a propstrike and was
removed from a Lancair Legacy that be ...

David,

FYI, most of the numbers look pretty good but, the oil temp appears to be
a little low. Oil temps should ideally be in the 175-180 range (to
evaporate the condensation from the oil). Som ...

I spoke at length to my painter. He said the range on RV-10 paint jobs
could run from $8,500, up.

Again, it's what you want.

John,

It really depends on the painter. My painter helped me to do the finish
fiberglass work (sand, fill, prime, sand) to the point of perfection. I
think, mainly, because he has pride of work ...

Robin,

I love the Lancair and I'm building a second one (Lancair ES), but I'm
looking at buying an RV-10 kit next.

I found a guy who designed my Lancair (the RV is next) (no charge) and
painted the plane to perfection (he's been painting aircraft - large &
small, for 20 years). He's in Colorado, but travels ...

Jerry,

The biggest issues with Lycomings relate to the cam & lifters. If an
engine has been properly maintained (changing the oil frequently, running
it 75-100 hours per year, with no signif ...

I used to work for Cessna. Since it has wing struts, it's either a 172RG (Cutless) or a 182RG.

Hate to see it happen (to anybody).
