ELT Installation We recommend the ARTEX ELT-200 for the Legacy available through Lancair Avionics. This illustration is only a suggestion for the mounting of the transmitter. All mounting instructions included with the ELT must be complied with. Note that for optimum performance an external antenna must be installed. We suggest installing the ELT underneath the right floorboard as shown. It should be installed as far right as possible.

Storm Scope Installation* The exact location of the BF Goodrich Stormscope antenna has to be determined by Skin mapping the aircraft. This is done with sensitive equipment while the engine and all avionics are powered up. The stormscope will not work if placed incorrectly. Please contact the Lancair Avionics department to make arrangements for skin mapping. Skin mapping may be performed either after or before the aircraft is painted. If after paint, the mounting area will have to be repainted. There must be at least 2’ x 2’ copper mesh on the inside of the fuselage centered on the backing plate. This serves as the ground plane for the antenna. Storm Scope Installation Fig. 24:C:1 1 BID Thin Copper Mesh Stormscope Antenna Backing Plate Body work fuselage as shown.

Autopilot Installation (TRU-TRAK) Autopilot Pitch Configuration Fig. 24:E:1 Baggage Bulkhead Elevator Idler Arm Spacer Elevator Push Rod Elevator Autopilot Pushrod Fwd. Servo Motor Actuator Arm. Use the upper hole. Safety wire the heads of the bolts to each other. Autopilot Mounting Bracket Autopilot Pitch Servo Bulkhead The purpose of the holes in the pushrod is to verify that the bearings are threaded far enough into the pushrod. You should not be able to insert a thin piece of wire into the holes. The smaller support bulkhead P/N 4039 was installed in Chapter 17. Note how the autopilot mounting bracket fits up against this bulkhead. To position the mounting bracket we have provided a dimension referenced to edge of the pushrod for the elevator. The pushrods have a small amount of adjustment in each end. For your reference the neutral position of this push rod is 9-3/4” from the center of the bearing to the center of the other bearing. It is acceptable to adjust the rod end either way provided the rods are threaded far enough in. We suggest you start by assembling all the parts prior to bonding the mounting bracket in place. Check the geometry of the system. Then bond the bracket in place using approved bonding procedures. WARNING: The system must be adjusted such that when the elevator is at zero degrees, the actuator arm of the servo is vertical. This is critical to avoid a potential over-center situation in which the autopilot could lock up the system. 1-1/2” Chapter 24 REV. 0/02-15-02 MISCELLANEOUS SYSTEMS 24-14 Lancair International Inc., Represented by Neico Aviation Inc., Copyright © 2000 , Redmond, OR 97756 Autopilot Pitch Servo Installation Fig. 24:E:2 Aft Mounting Bulkhead, 4039-02 Locknut, AN365-1032A (1 pc.)

Note that we provide a dimension from the spar to the autopilot mounting bracket. However to locate the autopilot left-right we suggest you assemble the whole system. Start by adjusting the roll pushrod such that the pushrod measures 18-1/2” from center to center. This puts the pushrod in a “neutral” position. Set the system so that the control stick is vertical and set the actuator arm of the servo so that it is vertical. This allows you to determine the position of the servo. Temporarily secure in place. Operate the system and check for clearance between all parts. Once satisfied with the geometry, bond the bracket in place. The Autopilot actuator arm should be set vertical. The pushrod mounts to the top hole of the actuator arm.
