They keep the windshield and window surfaces clean and help prevent vandalism and theft. The Lancair ES Canopy Cover is custom-designed for each model, as well as your aircraft's specific antenna and temperature probe placements, if applicable. The Canopy Cover is designed to enclose the windshield, side windows and canopy roof. The Canopy Cover attaches using adjustable "belly straps", which run under the belly and connect to the other side of the cover with a quick-release plastic buckle. When requested, it is also sometimes possible to design Canopy covers that can attach to the aircraft fuselage using pop-riveted snap-heads at the rear and snap-head screws on the engine cowl. This cover type is made from Silver Acrylic Sunbrella canvas and is 100% lined with a soft and smooth microfiber. Bruce's Custom Covers developed this material combination especially for aircraft protection. The outer material is medium weight and treated for water resistance, UV resistance and anti-static buildup. The inner lining is a very soft and smooth microfiber to prevent scratching.

  • Cresis UAV Critical Design Review: the Meridian
    CReSIS UAV Critical Design Review: The Meridian William Donovan University of Kansas 2335 Irving Hill Road Lawrence, KS 66045-7612 http://cresis.ku.edu Technical Report CReSIS TR 123 June 25, 2007 This work was supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation (#ANT-0424589). Executive Summary This report briefly describes the development of the three preliminary configuration designs proposed for the Meridian UAV. This report details the selection of the primary configuration and further, more detailed, analysis including Class II weight and Balance, Class II Stability and Control, Performance Analyses, Systems Design, Class II landing gear, structural arrangement, a manufacturing breakdown and a cost analysis. The design mission for this aircraft is to takeoff from a snow or ice runway, fly to a designated area, then use low frequency radar to perform measurements of ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. Three designs were developed: • A Monoplane with Structurally Integrated Antennas • A Monoplane with Antennas Hanging from the Wing • A Biplane with Antennas Structurally Integrated Into the Lower Wing The monoplane with antennas hanging from the wing was selected as the primary configuration for further development. This report describes the Class II design and analysis of that vehicle. i Acknowledgments This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. AST-0424589.

Legacy Legacy Published by Lancair International Inc. Redmond, Oregon 97756 Authorized Dealer Neico Aviation Inc. 2244 Airport Way Redmond, Oregon 97756 February 2008 iii Legacy Legacy PILOT’S OPERATING HANDBOOK and AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL February 2008 Log of Revisions PAGES DESCRIPTION February 2008 iii Legacy Legacy INTRODUCTION This Lancair International Pilot’s Operating Handbook and Airplane Flight Manual is in the format and contains most data recommended in the GAMA (General Aviation Manufacturers Association) Handbook Specification Number 1. Use of this specification provides the pilot the same type data in the same place in all of the handbooks. For example, attention is called to Section X, SAFETY INFORMATION. We feel it is very important to have this information in a condensed and readily available location and format for the pilots immediate use when needed. This SAFETY INFORMATION should be read and studied by all opera- tors of the Lancair Legacy aircraft and will provide a periodic review of good piloting techniques for this aircraft. This manual will not replace safe flight instruction or good piloting techniques. NOTE Owner modifications to your Lancair may alter the applicability of this handbook which meets the GAMA specification #1 for pilots operating handbooks. WARNING Use only genuine Lancair approved parts obtained from authorized Lancair dealers when repairing and maintaining your Lancair Legacy.

Additional Information and Guidance • Advisory Circular (AC) 20-27G, Certification and Operation of Amateur-Built Aircraft. • FAA Order 8130.35B, Amateur-Built Aircraft National Kit Evaluation Team • Contact your local FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) or Manufacturing Inspection District Office (MIDO).

  • Lancair's Experimentalkitplane Is Revolutionary
    lancair's Experimentalkitplane isrevolutionary _____ he air traffic controllers couldn't seem to get the name of Laneair's turboprop, the Evolution, quite right. During our short taxi for departure, both ground and local control• lers at Cincinnati Municipal Airport Lunken Field referred to the sleek, four-seat kit airplane as "Revolution." Cleared for takeoff on Runway 21 Left, Lancair dealer and demo pilot Doug Walker advanced the power lever on the 750-shaft-horse• power Pratt & Whitney PT6A-135A.As the four-blade Hartzell prop bit into the humid air and wisps of condensation swirled from the tips, it occurred to me that perhaps the controllers had it right. This high-fly• ing, 300-knot, carbon-fiber greyhound-with its standardized FAR Part 23-compliant construction, $1.3million price tag, and mandatory flight test and training programs-is seeking to completely redefine the top end of the Experimental marketplace. And if that kind of rapid, whole• sale change isn't the stuff of revolution, what is? Walker limits engine power at takeoff to 1,280 pound feet of torque (about 550 shp) so as not to overwhelm the rudder with left-turning P-factor. We're airborne after a 1,200-foot ground roll and free to add full power. Doing so at Vy will result in a maximum rate of climb touch• ing 4,000 fpm, but our goals on this evening flight aren't that ambitious. We're simply keeping pace with an IO-550-powered Bonanza A36 that's SO I AOPA PIlOT August 2012 - YOU SAY YOU WANT AN EVOLUTION,.,t.
