I bet you could buy an ES for less money than you could build one right now. A couple guys on this group have theirs up for Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:20:56 GMT mikeeasley http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14226 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14226 Curt, The Grand Canyon chart lists altitudes for the corridors. We flew three of the corridors. The two we flew northbound were at 11,500, and the southbound Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:29:44 GMT Gordon http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14225 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14225 Hi all. I'm new to the ES group and am in the painfully long and drawn out final stages of deciding between an RV-10 and ES kit. Both planes more or less fit Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:23:11 GMT Curt Cannon http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14224 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14224 Nice, Mike. What altitude do you do that at?

I preprogrammed the entry and exit waypoints from the Grand Canyon chart into my Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:10:35 GMT mikeeasley http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14222 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14222 Gary, I'm really happy you had the extra down trim removed from the system. It's interesting how much stick force it took with only a small amount of extra Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:16:22 GMT Gary Casey http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14221 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14221 Interesting thing happened today. I was cruising along at 9500 on altitude hold when the TruTrak disconnected. When overloaded it doesn't really disconnect, Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:38:58 GMT Gary Casey http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14220 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14220 I'm afraid it is getting close to the time when I have to consider selling my ES. haven't figured out a likely price, but too many economic conditions have Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:59:09 GMT mikeeasley http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14219 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14219 Kris, I think I've commented on this before, but I really think the filter is too small that's on the Y pipe, so some of the boost you get when you open the Mon, 16 Nov 2009 05:24:42 GMT Greg Ratajski http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14218 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14218 Kris, Do you know what the difference is in performance with two filters vs. one? I have my induction system, I did everything I could to make it better, Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:10:21 GMT Gary Casey http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14217 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14217 Kris, Personally, I think it's a great idea. The only negative might be that there is no "alternate air" source. But with two filters and half of each filter Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:58:57 GMT Kris Storkersen http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14216 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14216 Hey Guys,     I am thinking about putting two filters on the induction and removing the flapper.  What are your feelings.  What performance changes have Sun, 15 Nov 2009 19:50:03 GMT Gary Casey http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14215 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14215 Joe, I agree, but my point was that when you join a flexible part (the mount) to a rigid part (the strut) you have to be very careful to avoid any stress Sun, 15 Nov 2009 19:24:46 GMT esdisalvo http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14214 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lancair_ES/message/14214 I think we want as little movement as possible- a little at the top is a lot way down at the tire. It is a poor design to put it mildly.
