Mark & Gary -

It can be done, but it will require a lot of thought and a few odd tools  
like a long pair of forceps. Our pressure chamber is reachable from a  
rather large hole in the outboard rib of the right wing. We probably could  
have made that hole a bit larger, but did not need to do it. A larger hole  
would make it easier.

We did ours with the wing open and had the luxury of coring out the areas  
on the top and bottom skins where the chamber seats on the insides of the  
wing.

I have  a bunch of annotated pictures of the installation on our album on  
the LML. Check them out and let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,

John

PS: Gary - if you could make a hole large enough to get your hand  
comfortably through the lower wing skin, you could make an access panel  
out of it and I think it would not be a tructural problem that far out on  
the wing. Yes, the sport is very adequate. The other model is a bit larger  
for the display, obviously configured a bit differently and tells you  
about the gear not being down. Unless there is some better gee whiz stuff  
in the computer and your gear is retractable, it is hardly worth the 75%  
delta in the cost.
