LNC2 Gang,

 

I have about 35 hours on my 320 and have the traditional 1/4" – 3/8” sag at the spinner.  The engine is mounted on the Barry vibration isolators that Lancair sells.  My intent was to align the cowl with the sag in mind in hopes that the engine would eventually match up.  Well, the way the cowl turned out it was aligned perfectly before the first flight.  Within the first 10-15 hours I got all the sag I’m going to get.

 

My question for the group is: how many area washers should I put under the lower two dynafocal pads to shim the engine up?  From past postings that I can find I am guessing at 2.  What say you all?

 

Thanks!

 

Dan
