Someone recently questioned the future availability of replacement parts for
the LNC-2, now that it's been discontinued by Lancair. That is a real
concern for all LNC-2 owners.
I've already encountered a problem with a replacement part. Several years
ago, Lancair increased the thickness of the clear plexiglass wingtip lenses.
The old style 'thinner' lenses haven't been available since about 1995. So,
if you have the old thinner type installed and broke one you're 'out of
luck', the new thicker ones will not fit. I was surprised to learn that they
were not stocked after the change, because wingtip lenses would seem to be
an inexpensive item to continue to stock.
I'm sure there's an already large inventory of parts at Redmond, that it
takes room and money and Lancair is not General Motors.
However, I don't think it would be unreasonable to ask Lancair to study this
and determine which (if any) replacement parts will continue to be available
for the LNC-2, then maybe post the list on the LML for a brief period of
customers input and comments.
