Glasair Bruce asked me for some more information on my home
made retractable step for my LIV. I finally found the original sketches
which show conceptually how it looks. But now I can not find Bruce’s
email since I dumped a lot of files. So there are the sketches. The
final design was slightly different (different spring location primarily) but
these convey the essentials if you are ambitious or crazy enough to try it
yourself. It is a pretty and elegant installation, but everything barely
fits in the space allowed making the installation a bitch. Maybe it would
be easier on a Glasair.
Cheers,
