Doug,

 

Thanks for the SB. For some reasons it’s not included in the SB list on the web site. I’ll also forward your essage to the Lancair_ES group, many of whom have the Ram Air installed.

Dennis,

 

I just went to the Lancair web site and checked the Service Bulletins. There is none there concerning the Ram Air system. Where did you get a SB?

 

When I reported the problem to Tim in Mid July he said a bulletin would be forthcoming. I also discussed it with him at Oshkosh. (Granted, he was somewhat distracted with the Evolution rollout). I have yet to see anything from Lancair.

I spent yesterday afternoon at the hangar, probably the hottest day of the year, sweating and doing the ram air butterfly valve loose screw service bulletin.  Sure enough, one screw was finger tight.  The other screw was Allen wrench tight. 

 

Thanks to the LML and a special thanks to Erik.  When this issue first arose, I implemented the same "check it often with a mirror and flashlight" procedure as Erik, hoping that would be sufficient.  Erik's report on the LML about how quickly the screw backs out, combined with Lancair publishing the SB, scared me into checking it and I'm so glad I did!  Thanks!
