No writing for Kitplanes since my Lancair mods article. Lost it in post-landing Incident after 350 glorious hour in the Sky.

Re: Removing Engine with Tail Off - Support Recommendations
Here's Jerry's setup. It folds up when not in use. For removing the engine, I recommend a Harbour Freight engine hoist with the optional leveling attachment.
I think this will be the 7th or 8th time for me to take off the engine. My avionics guy needs to get to the alternator. In the past, it was a normal process and all I needed was the engine hoist. However, this time the tail is off so I am currently supporting the fuselage by resting it on a short table while the engine stand supports the front from tipping forward.

Re: Removing Engine with Tail Off - Support Recommendations
Will do.....but is that the PVC structure to hold the tail? If so, I built that last summer and the tail is on it now. If something else then I will check the blog. Corbin Ge!ser

Re: GPS Dimension
A single 10.5 landscape screen will just fit yop to bottom with decent edge distance. I have a cad drawing based on the one from the q-list archives. It fits inside the edges well although slightly inboard. Copilot side would have a panel mount transponder with ads-b in/out for traffic. Lit rocker switches for all systems, (probably aveo rockers) as well as the Aveo Andromeda wing tip lights for nav and strobe. Landing light location and type undecided at this time. The G3x radios would be installed behind the seat back bulkhead. Which makes ample room for header tank up front.

Re: Dave
Terrence O’Neill!! It’s been a long time! Are you still writing for Kitplanes? You had a nice Lancair! Did you wear it out? Welcome to Q-Ville! Trutrack should work nicely!

Jim,

Not sure I’ve had it long enough to test it thoroughly. I have it under the glare screen so it usually doesn’t see direct sunlight. All it takes to remove it from the harness is push one button and you can “put it where the sun don’t shine”. (Don’t take that personally). Bruce

Hi Corbin, I chock the wheels, put a bottle jack at the back with a board/foam to spread the load, and also a jack at the front center, just behind the cowl to hold up the front. In my hangar I have a Come-Along that goes up to a structural beam in the hangar. To work on an accessory case item takes me about 30 min to have the engine pulled forward and gain access.

That would be my choice Terrance! Glad your getting tour Q2. You and I have talked many times.

Re: Dave

Hi; I’m buying a Q2 soon, and intend to put in a basic Autopilot like the TruTrak I put into my late Lancair.
May I ask what will work for the Q2? Am impressed with the aviation quality of the group and look forward to participating. Thank you. Terrence O’Neill

Re: GPS Dimension
Thanks Bruce. That’s what I though. How well does the 660 work in a hot cockpit in direct sunlight. Does it ever get hot and shut down like an IPhone?

I assume the 496 power cord is the same as the 296. If so the 660 is a total different animal. But with only 3 wires to hook up it is a piece of cake.

Just put the tail on. Safest.

Re: Removing Engine with Tail Off - Support Recommendations
That makes complete sense, I am still running the little
B&C 12 amp, but I wired it so that the 30 amp could pop
straight in if it was needed. Good luck with it. Rich T

Hi Dave,
I thought I would wait until the dust settled but you did an admirable job saving the airframe. Thats one of the reasons I don't like taking long trips and possibly stranded several states away from home. Did you have to clean the seats? Ha Ha. I've been there
and done that and it was very scary. I dead sticked into Livermore a few years ago during one of our airshows. It puckered my butt real good. Are you putting a Revmaster back in it or exploring options?
Dave I wish you a quick return to service. Sorry to hear about your mishap.
Best,
Jim

Put a foam block under the federate at the split. Easy and will work fine.

Re: GPS Dimension
Bruce,
When I bought my Trio, I understood the baud rate works from 4800 to 9600 Baud. I have a 496 and it has worked fine with the Trio.
I am planning to switch to the 660. My question is, is the power harness the same and can I use my 496-power cord to hook up to the 660, or is it a different connection?

If not he said I could send it in and they could change it for me. It’s just
a firm ware thing.
So I can use and drive the two different auto pilots with the same Aera 660 gps. I just need a hard wire harness and the 3 wires hooked up to gps signal, positive and ground.
No reason to wait if the 296 is quickly becoming obsolete.
