Create an access panel on the seat-back of the co-pilot's side.  Build a
vertical panel behind the copilot's seat (creating a forward bulkhead for the
baggage compartment) and mount the hydraulic pump on that.  Now you can easily
access the pump and make it possible to even preflight your pump and resorvoir
every time you fly if you wish.  You then won't have to climb into the baggage
compartment to have a peek.

If you have the choice, go with the small tail feathers.  The big one is over-
rated and has a potential for flutter.  The small one works great and is much
better looking.  Save the bucks for something you really need.

(Note:  I've come up with a way to attach photos to our LML mailings and am
including a shot of Michael Fopp's version of the installation that Pete
has outlined above.  Sorry about the quality, but the originals that were
given to me just wouldn't scan without those moire lines... nonetheless
this should give you a general idea of this approach.  More on attachments
later in an upcoming post.   <Marv>)
