Hi Colyn: I have previously written a program to pull new listings from the FAA database for specific types (TBM 700 in my case).  That data is reasonably easy to obtain by adding the various Lancair types.  However, I think it begs the question of what are you going to offer?    Typically, most aircraft type groups organize formally when circumstances warrant (Piper, Cessna, MU-2, TBM, Duke, Beech owners) but they have a program to offer with sponsors and some form of organized and approved curriculum for training and insurance and maintenance.  Liability is an issue.  I am suggesting that it is easy to contact the registration changes but what is the message you want to send and how is it going to be useful to a new owner?  I think the last part is probably where the workload lies.  If you think it through it probably ends up with an organization, budget, directors and insurance to have a lasting effect.   If you simply want to tell people what is available (LML) then for about a dollar per postcard you can contact new registration addresses.  That reminds me I have to send in my Lancair resale form...

Anybody know how to get name/address for registration transfers?  Apparently it is public information because I always get a lot of new junkmail when I buy a plane.

 

Also - who is our accident stats guy?  Someone was tracking all this stuff.
