At that time they moved the baggage bulkhead aft 8 or 10 in. to make more room for baggage. Very soon after that change was made Lancair advised putting it back to the original position out of fear that it would be too easy to get an aft CG. The Pump at that time was on the aft side of the rear baggage bulkhead and very to service in my opinion. What I did was to install the bulkhead in the aft position and mount the pump and all associated hardware on the front of the bulkhead. The pump is in the same recommended position as the plans require, just on the front of the bulkhead. Very easy to install, inspect and service! :) I created a full width cover that fits over the entire area out of 1/4 prepreg honeycomb and upholstered it like the rest of the baggage area. An added benefit, I have a hatshelf that is 8" deeper than normal. Battery is just behind the right seat. At this time 360DB is not flying as I am modifying with OB gear, XP360 engine and the same Hartzell F hub Prop. I don't expect any major CG shifts due to these mods as they are on or very near the CG. When flying before the modification began the CG was right on. I have standard wing tanks, header tank, small tail and short engine mount. David VanOsdol dvanosdol@mybajaranch.com www.mybajaranch.com Cell: (925) 575-0371 Home: (310) 474-1709 Fax: (925) 955-9980
