Let's see if I understand this, and correct me if I'm wrong... If I
don't comply 100% with rules 1 through 5 above (which didn't exist when
I purchased my kit), my Lancair won't pass the "official Lancair
Inspection", which means I won't be able to buy insurance, thereby
preventing me from being able to rent a hangar, which will obviously
prevent me from flying my airplane. So, I guess I'll just have one very
expensive lawn ornament? As Jeff said, "Thanks Joe Bartels and all
involved in making this happen."
Mark,
I wish I knew. The folks at AIG are saying that they do not intent to place such restrictions on Glasairs or other high performance kitplanes. Since a builder is permitted by the FAA to call a plane anything he chooses, perhaps we could choose the name "Glasair-wannabe" and slip in under the AIG radar. The situation is still very murky since there are no documented lists for compliance etc. More details when and if I get them. But I'll be flying soon and the clock is ticking. I have a broker looking elsewhere now for options less heinous. Robert M. Simon, ES-P N301ES
