upholstery, instruments and avionics will suffer from excessive heat
and exposure to the sun, so a cover is recommended. Elastomers such
as tires also need to be protected from exposure to ultraviolet to limit
their deterioration.
Fuel tanks should be filled or drained completely, the control surfaces
locked, the aircraft electrically grounded, a pitot cover installed, the
static ports covered, the engine and cabin cooling air intake (NACA
inlet) covered or plugged, and the batteries removed.
FLYABLE STORAGE
If the aircraft is to be put into flyable storage, the engine would not be
preserved nor the desiccated plugs installed. The propeller should be
rotated by hand every 7 days. Rotate the engine six revolutions; stop
the propeller at 45 and 90 deg. from the original position.
Each month, the aircraft should be started and run. It is preferable to
fly the aircraft for thirty (30) minutes as the Lancair engine
compartment is tight and inadequate cooling may result from a ground
run.
PREPARATION FOR SERVICE
Following storage, the aircraft preparations for flight should include the
following. Remove all taped openings, plugs and control locks. Clean
and thoroughly inspect the aircraft, checking the gear, tires, controls,
pitot and static ports. Install a serviced battery. Install spark plugs
and check the oil level. The preservative oil used for storage should be
removed and proper oil installed. The fuel tanks should be checked for
water accumulation and purged as required. Following a short but
thorough engine ground check the aircraft should be flown for 30
minutes maximum and given a very thorough post-flight inspection.
FUEL SERVICING
The fuel should be clean and water free. The firewall gascolator drain
should be checked on preflight inspections for evidence of water and
the filter checked for solid foreign material. It is good practice to leave
the tanks full to minimize the amount of combustible fuel/air vapor
present in the tanks. This also helps minimize the amount of water
vapor in the fuel system.
OIL SYSTEM SERVICING
The oil system must be serviced with the oil grades specified by
Continental, and conforming to MHS-24. Since engine oil
consumption is higher during break-in of a new or overhauled engine,
very long flights should be avoided until it is certain that the sump
