For the red cube installation make sure to follow their instruction and install it dowstream of a gascolator.
Last year when i was installing a new avionics package my mechanic ended up installing it upstream ( right under the fuel selector in the cabin cause it was convenient )and after about 3 hours it got clogged ( because plane was sitting idle for a few months ) and failed - thankfully it failed open (as it was designed to fail) so it just stopped reporting ….

Re: TL Ultralight Stingsport
I have talked with a DAR and started the ball rolling to E-LSA.
I sent him pdf's of the logbooks and made an account on AWC.FAA.GOV as he requested.
He also needs to see the weight and balance along with an equipment list.
I now need to acquire the appropriate placards;
EXPERIMANTAL &
“PASSENGER WARNING—THIS AIRCRAFT IS AN EXPERIMENTAL
AIRCRAFT AND DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FEDERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR
STANDARD AIRCRAFT"
For those who have E-LSA'd in the past, please let me know if I'm missing anything
or if you have any suggestions that may help this go as smoothly as possible.
Thanks,
Tim

Re: TL Ultralight Stingsport
If you don't have a bunch of paperwork from when the airplane was delivered new, order the CD from the FAA for your airplane.
Re: TL Ultralight Stingsport
I ordered the CD yesterday.

Stingsport Wheel Pant Spacer
Fellow Sting owners, I'm looking for pics, dimensions and information for the MLG wheel pant spacer, AMM Fig 7.24.
I'm pretty sure the one I have is not correct and whatever I had on the other side has departed the aircraft.
Thanks

Re: TL Ultralight Stingsport
Hoping these pics help. I'm no machinist and there is a shoulder machined into one end of the barrel so I attempted to take two pics to show about how much of the barrel is machined.

Re: TL Ultralight Stingsport
The pics are great.
I'll get them to my machinist and see what we can come up with.
Thank you!

Re: TL Ultralight Stingsport
JJay, thanks again for the pics.
I had a friend make me a couple spacers from Derlin 3/4" round stock.
Perfectly drilled for the 8mm bolts, no slop like my previously installed spacers.
They work great. I installed all fasteners with blue Loktite as recommended in the AMM.
Looks like the previous installer did not.
E-LSA conversion complete.
DAR requested a new W&B as there were many "weight change negligible" entries. 9lbs gained
And I had to do a new Equipment List. DAR $750 W&B $300

Re: TL Ultralight Stingsport
You're welcome yabiah. You'll need to change the S to and E in your signature line now: "StingSport N606N S-LSA"
