Michael,

A few considerations that came up in my installation:

- What are you using for backup lighting of your instrument panel? One approach is to put something under the glare shield. I think you can get better illumination of the switch labels with direct lighting from the overhead. So I put some eyeballs on the front of the overhead.

- map light/reading light for each occupant position.

- controls for all the above.

Here's what I ended up with.

HELP!!!!

Looking for examples of the over head panel pictures for the L-IV...I need some ideas on arranging the lighting, air vents (eye sockets), etc...Hope I can get some help from all you guys that are flying and have all the ideas that you would do if done again...

Thanks,

Michael G,

We are in phase one flight testing of our LIV (N304R). In the initial couple of hours, our new IO550G had significant blow by. Now that rings are starting to seat, power is improving. Using Cloud Ahoy and an AV8OR GPS we are logging performance. Recently, our improving climb and cruise results for the indicated conditions are:
                Loading:               Empty 1950 lbs plus 550 lbs fuel and pilot
                Power:                 Full throttle       2500 RPM            Best power leaning
Climb at 125 KIAS             Density altitude 11000 ft              1200 ft/min
Cruise at 12600 density altitude                                211 KTAS
We’d be interested in how this compares with other LIV or LIVP results, especially below 18000 ft density altitude.
