Guys,

Thanks for all the = suggestions on my=20 leak. To answer some questions,

The leak is more prevalent = if my=20 overhead vents are closed. Since the inlet for them is on the = right side=20 of the tail and the propwash hits the left, I doubt if that's where it's = coming=20 from.

My wing root isn't like = most Lancairs=20 - the fairing actually overlaps my wing by a couple of inches and we = bodyworked=20 the wing to meet the fairing with a fairly tight gap. I could try = putting=20 some caulk in the underside of the left wing to see if that = helps.

I have no idea what my = cabin pressure=20 is in relation to the outside, however the fact that exhaust is getting = in=20 suggests that it is, in fact, lower.

My goal at this point is = to find a way=20 to locate where the leak is and plug it. Any methods out there to = do=20 this?
