         <<  Lancair Builders' Mail List  >>
         <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

A lot of the stuff you need for this list must be developed by you, the
builder. If I remember, much of the stuff you need for this list can be
found in the Lancair supplied POH. Primarily though, as the builder, the
contents of this list must be compiled by you. Logic and common sense will
lead the way. Consider all the things on the airframe that are potential
wear points, things that need lubrication, places that have fasteners that
may work their way loose, etc. Make you own list, document it and add to it
as you gain experience with your airplane. Don't forget such things as ELT
battery life, xponder and altimeter correlation checks (by a qualified shop)
and the various filters that have a published life expectancy. Write all the
check points down, preferably in the back of the airframe log book and refer
to it as you do your annual (you do have your Repairman's certificate for
you airplane, don't you?). Depending on your competency regarding your
engine, you may want to have a local FBO's chief wrench check out your
engine for things such as compression, valve lash (for O-235 and O-290
engines which do not have hydraulic lifters) etc.

The check list for your experimental airplane is a matter of common sense
and it's your responsibility.
