I am working on sealing up my cabin and getting the pressurization going in my ES-P

 

The electric air-condition mounted on the rear bulkhead has a condensation drain that goes overboard through a ¼” hose. Is this usually an issue? Does this need a control valve or should is drain to an internal tank?

 

When testing the cabin pressure control valve on the ground but adjusting the panel controller back and forth, the motor and gears move extremely slow. Is this normal?

 

On the ES-P, are rubber boot necessary on the elevator push rod that goes through the bushing in the rear bulkhead and the aileron control rod from the stick that goes through the bushing into the sealed box?

 

Any suggestions on where to put the 6 PSI pressure pop off valve? The is very little room on the pressure control valve box under the left rear seat.

 

Is there a good smoke source for finding leaks when hooked up to the shop vac?

 

 

Thank you,

The drain has a clear plastic valve with a Ping pong ball device inside. When water fills it the ball floats and the valve opens draining the condensate. The drain goes overboard. 

Unless you have the delrin blocks that you push tubes go through with almost no clearance the you will need boots. Ask someone to send you a photo of the delrin mod.

The pop off valve can go anywhere.

Lancair sell the smoke kits also Aircraft Spuce (I believe).
