Gentlemen,
I
have just moved from the building stage to the flying stage as I got my
Airworthiness Certificate on Nov. 13th. I first rode in a
Lancair at Oshkosh in 1989, with Don Goetz on a purchased demo flight. It
became a dream at that time, and I was finally able to purchase a kit in 1992,
in the crate from an origional buyer. There was no online place to go at
that time, only the factory support. I worked on it for a year, had it on
its gear, and had to sell it in 1993 due to finacial reasons. I was not
able to start again until Oct of 2005. I purchased kit #724-320-567 in
progress. I was a builder again. However I discovered a lot had
changed since 1993, Large tail, outback gear, along with the fact
the 320/360 had been replaced by Legacy, and factory support on a 360 is
almost nill.
I
started coming to the LML at that time, my reason was for build support. LML
was the only place to go. I mostly just read because I did not feel as if
I was qualifed to put in my 2 cents until I got up the nerve to ask something I
really needed to explore in order to make an educated decsion. It
is true there is not much comment on building. However if and when
I asked for input it was there. I am sure that if I knew how to research
the achives that 99.9% of my questions could have been answered. Also Marv started
it with the 99.9% because are we ever really finished? Everything
changes, everything evolves and adapts or it dies.
With
all that said, I would like evryone to know that LML has been a positive
influence on me. I will continue to participate even now that I am 99.9%.
I will contribute in order to help if I am able, I will not condem an opinion
or lack therof. I also will do my best to remember to resize my
photos before I attempt to attach them to my post. I want to thank
Marv for his efforts. Thank you Marv!
