Son,
The shop I'm using is Jake Ore's and he's located at Gillespie Field just
east of San Diego. His phone number is 619-449-6251 and his web site is
www.jakeore.com .
Jake runs a builder assist shop and has 5 other guys working there. He's
been in the business for over 16 years and really knows his stuff. They'll
do as much or as little as you want as long as you give him a minimum amount
of work every month (you'd have to talk to him about that). He has every
tool you could ever need to build the plane, gives you a key to the hangar
so you can stay late or work when they're not there and has access to every
conceivable kind of support you'll need from hardware to materials to
avionics installers, etc. He charges $28/hr which is far less than anyone
else I know of. One particular benefit is the body work they do at the
shop, which is beautiful. Lancair never mentions body work in their
brochures, but it's HUGE part of the project and really makes the
difference between a show plane and a piece of junk. They'll show you how
to do it right and do the crappy jobs that you won't want to do. When my
plane is done, all the body work will be finished and the plane will be in
primer.
I'd recommend that you call Jake and stop by the shop for a visit. Right
now he has two 360's, a Legacy and my ES there as well as a IV that's in
another hangar waiting for the owner to get going on it again this summer.
Let me know if you have any questions,
Skip Slater
