How do you get into/out of the Lancair?

Featured Replies

I usually start in the cockpit, but as I was contemplating getting out after a nice landing.. (had to go to the John..),

it occurred to me that it is a long way down...

 

Are there any steps / handholds to get me safely out, and later, back in?

They are describing the method to be an easy one in the review of the rw plane. http://cafefoundatio...search_aprs.php Just check that pdf for the Legacy.

 

The wing height is low enough that it is not difficult to step up on the wing non-slip strip while still being careful not to step on the flap. Once standing on the wing, it is easy to step into the cockpit because the huge bubble of plexiglass that forms the windshield and canopy swings

well up out of the way on its forward mounted hinges. There is no need for stooping or crawling when entering this cockpit.

The alternative would be to scream for help. ^_^

LOL... I guess I need to bring a plastic step stool, like the one I use when

replacing the Hummingbird Feeder..

 

Weighs nothing and can go into the rear compartment, under the netting..

I like your new hair Bert, got rid of that silver look. You look so much younger! :smile:
