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) Charlie ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:48:49 AM PST US Subject: Re: RV-List: Lift reserve indicator From: thomas sargent Charlie: 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 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 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.

Capen" Subject: RV-List: SD-20 Alternator / SB1B-14 regulator failure modes 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.
