Big mistake to bond header tank permanently! It is
very tempting to do so but don't do it. One of the great features of
the Lancair 235/320/360 is the access it provides when the header tank
is removed. Access to avionics, firewall, rudder pedals, brakes,
etc. IHMO, you will be very sorry if you do this.
FYI, I remove the header tank at least once a year for the
annual inspection. However, I have removed it in between annuals for other
various reasons (new avionics, leaky header tank, firewall installation, etc.

Anyone have good reasoning as to why I shouldn't
permanantly bond my header tank on? I tried the hinge method and the fit
with the cowling was terrible so I had to take the entire thing apart today. Now
Im thinking it may be a whole lot easier to install and finish by bonding the
tank on for good. My brake systems are all easily accesible even
with it on. I cant think of any reason I would ever remove it after the thing is
flying. Anybody have a good argument against this?
Thanks.
