owners, check your clearance after the first 20/40 hours, you might be amazed
how little you have after the mounts have settled.

I can add that I have my Lancair IV up on jacks for
its first annual inspection. I found that when doing the retraction test,
the two tiny screws holding the nose landing gear down switch were hitting my
oil pan. A year ago there was clearance. Evidently things are
wearing in allowing the locking linkage to swing just a bit
further. In my case, I moved the switch to the underside of the
mounting surface on the locking link. A bit of fiddling and a new switch in
the lower location fixed the problem.
