I watched a friend in a Questair Venture roll off the runway at Reno at =
a very slow speed.  He was rolling just fast enough to flip over =
inverted.  It took the rescue crew a looong time to get enough people to =
lift the wing high enough for him to crawl out.  Fuel was pouring out =
and over the crew while they lifted.  My take away?

I installed a AirCrafters removable rear window for emergency egress. =20
An emergency off airport landing on a not for sure smooth and hard =
surface in a tilt canopy Lancair will probably have a better outcome if =
you leave the gear up.=20
If your Legacy ends up on its back, the removable rear window could save =
your bacon.

Subject: [LML] Lancair Legacy Aft Windows

Greetings,
As I was completing my Lancair Legacy, I had to make a decision =
regarding the aft windows.  Do I install the windows per the original =
design, or opt for a hinged/removeable window?

A few years ago, AirCrafters developed a lightweight, high strength =
hinged carbon fiber window frame for the Lancair Legacy. The frame is =
hinged on the upper and lower interior edges. This feature allows the =
window to hinge inward or be completely removed.

I purchased this kit (two of them), one for the pilot side, and one for =
the co-pilot side.  However, I never installed either one.  If you are =
interested in installing a hinged/removeable aft window in your Legacy, =
please contact me off list at:

817-559-1253 or
817-573-0694
