RE: Lancair Wing Failures
I just ordered a one piece landing gear from them. I've got to install it, glass the center wing section and I'll be done. I installed a Saito 100T twin with onboard glow driver. It's battery along with the six volt pack for the receiver are installed on a subfloor aft of the wing. I haven't yet checked the balance but a prelim obtained by laying the pieces out on the elevator suggest that I shouldn't be too far off.
I noticed on another thread that somebody glassed around the baggage door for strength before cutting it out. I ended up running rails over the door to support the subfloor which seems to have given adequate strength to this section without glassing it. The door itself has a shaped former for strength.
This is such a nice plane I'm tempted to make a second so I can learn from all the errors I made with the first one.
