FWIW, a smart level on the gear box of my. IV-P indicated within a degree of level (back when)

Dico,

Consider that the aircraft designer had the aircraft level when in level flight, smooth air at the midrange of its operating altitude and cruise speed range when he first drew the "level" line . If you affix a digital level tool to the interior fuselage parallel to the fwd/aft center line and take a flight within those parameters, the reading on that level with tell you whether the tool is pitched up or down and by how much. Once back on the ground, the tool position can be adjusted to indicate two points that can be used to "level" the aircraft in pitch.

Hi All,

I am looking to find the level marks to level our plane (to put in a new glass panel). One of the gizmos required for the Garmin EFIS has to be a certain degrees (2.5) from level flight. I looked in the build books and shows where there were dimples at one time... however with the 1st class paint job the previous owner put on it, those dimples are a thing of the past.

Bob P. and Bill H. helped me locate what they believed to me the level mark at the front of the plane (see arrow) however we didn't find (nor did we look at the time) for the mark at the back of the plane. Today, when looking, I noticed the same small drill holes on the back hatch... the question is if this could possibly be the location rear level mark?

Failing this, is there another way that i could level this piece of hardware?
