Earl,

Yes there are some carbon fiber 360s'.......but not many. I don't know the exact number. I have just completed mine after 8 years. If I had the choice again, I would prefer the fiberglass aircraft. There is just not enough space to hide antennas in the carbon fiber airframe. I was told the carbon fiber was 40 lbs. lighter than the fiberglass but my plane still came in heavy.......1178 lbs. Charlie Kohler just signed it off and it will probably fly next week.

Subject: [LML] Carbon fiber 360 kit?

A fellow pilot and Lancair IV kit owner (partial kit) ask for confirmation that a carbon fiber 360 kit was available in the past.

Does anyone remember this to be a fact? Or is he just confused?

Thanks, Earl
