 Kim,
 How are you?  I hope all is well.  I am sure that Wesley is running around
and getting big.  What a handful they can be.
 I had recently e-mailed Robert Williams about some info and have not heard
back from him in some time.  In my prior correspondence with Robert, he is
amazingly quick at responding.  Is he on vacation or on reserve duty perhaps?
Please advise.
 Lastly, as you may know, my plane is building built by Arnold Holmes, owner
of Semloh Aviation Services in Edgewater Florida, down where Charlie Kholer
lives.  There have been some items that have come straight from the factory
that my builder has had to correct.  For example, during the build shop, Kerry
and I installed the aileron control boxes.  The pilot side was installed to
high and would not allow the elevator control rod to pass over it and had to
be modified.  Additionally, the rudder sits on three "hinge pins" .  The hinge
pins are mounted to phenolic block on the vertical stabilizer.  This was all
done in the Philippines.  Only 2 of my 3 hinge pins line up to accept the
bolts.  Arnold has had to repair that as well.  I have asked Arnold to
photograph and to document these matters.  What is Lancair's position as far
as reimbursement for these situations?
 We are not talking about an astronomical amount of time for Arnold to fix
these items.  I do however feel that $4,000 a week for the "fast build" should
result in the control boxes being mounted properly, and that the kit itself
should come with all bolt holes lined up.
 I look forward to hearing from you soon.
 Thanks
 Craig Blitzer
