Where was the comparative table about the different Lancairs, You can sent it me directly. cof01@bellsouth.net.
I am still "looking" for a Legacy but the realities of several people asking about my mission drove me to come up with an outline.
I live at Spruce Creek and there are many RV's flying formation for the $100 breakfast, $200 in a Legacy, and about 5 SX300's.
My guess is 65% formation, 15% very light acro and funning around, and 20% xcountry. That opens up the Rockets, Harmon and F1,
I don't want to put out 200-220 for a Legacy that I can't get back anytime soon until I am sure. The Rockets are 115-150 and no gear questions but 190 to 200KTS cruise whereas the Legacy's seem to cruise at about 220-230.
The Legacy would fly formation with RV's(your opinions please) so more opportunity than just the SX group. I don't know of anyone doing this now, there may be a reason you would know. The Rockets probably aren't fast enough for the SX's , however. I appreciate the input of the group, this is kind of like a pig in a poke to me.
One funny thing, the insurance; on a dollar for dollar, the insurance is 25% less for the Legacy. That is curious in that the Rockets can't have a gear up are really just a modified RV, which has great rates. Bean counters, oh well.
Please chime in either in the group or personally.
Thanking you in advance,
Chris Floyd
