| Subject: | Lift reserve indicator |
I have bought one and would like to see a pix of where anyone who has
installed one, has put the pickup under the wing. I have a 6A, but Im
thinking probably would be same for all models. First thought was to
mount it on the inspection plate, what do you think? My email is
cheathco@cox.net .( pix of glare shield indicator unit would be a plus)

I installed mine in my 6A in the cover for the wing access to the aileron
bell crank. The Lift Reserve guy suggested that location. Seems to work
there. I should mention that I have a Catto three blade prop, which is 3
inches shorter in radius than most 2 bladed props used on 6A's. That may
be important in this regard, but I doubt it.

I also mounted my RV6A Lift Reserve Indicator on the bell crank
inspection plate. I put the "meter" indicator atop the instrument panel
cover so that it was within eyesight without moving my head. I could see
it just by a slight shift in my eyeballs. I sold the plane and wish I
had an LRI in my present plane. It is a great instrument.

I also put the pick-up on the inspection plate at the aileron bellcrank.
I did add a doubler plate to the inspection plate in the immediate area
of the mounting. My meter is in the panel just below the glare-shield
over hang but still in the field of vision. Would not change anything.

As a follow up to my recent failure.
The issue ended up being the gear coupling in the alternator.
The gear coupling is a field replaceable item and I have one on the way.
More when it happens....
