It strikes me that there are two competing legal issues here. The first is 
that technical support is purchased when the kit is purchased. In that 
action, no transfer fee, etc. was included. Thus, this is attempting to add 
conditions after the fact. Legally, that is questionable.

OTOH, how will one enforce that? Does technical support inure to the 
purchase, or is it an act of good will by Lancair? And if you went to court 
and won, how grudging would Lancair's compliance with the support need be?

Finally, if you purchase a partially completed kit, how would Lancair 
prevent you from flying without their inspection?

I think the fee is a done deal, since there's no good way (reasonable cost) 
around it unless you aren't interested in tech support. Could Lancair refuse 
to sell you parts? Maybe???

Subject: [LML] Transfer Of Ownership


Rob pointed out in a previous post that Lancair has changed their transfer 
of ownership policy. I thought it would be a good idea to post the paragraph 
from that form that regards to their "Transfer Policy". Interesting read.. I 
guess anybody who buys a used Lancair, of any type, has to have the 
"Insurance inspection team" check said aircraft.

TRANSFER POLICY
L.I.I. requires that all Lancair International Inc. and Neico Aviation Inc. 
aircraft and /or uncompleted kits which are sold, transferred, bartered, 
donated or in anyway given to any other person, corporation or other legal 
entity other than the original purchaser, shall first pay a $300.00 transfer 
fee to Lancair International Inc. and agree to sign and return to Lancair 
International Inc. this Resale Agreement prior to having said aircraft 
registered with L.I.I. and prior to the new owner obtaining technical 
support, access to Kit Components Inc. for parts purchases, access to our 
builder’s site on the web or notification of any service bulletins. Further, 
the new purchaser of a flying Lancair aircraft or an uncompleted kit, and 
prior to the aircraft being transferred, must agree to have either flying 
Lancair aircraft or upon first flight of an uncompleted kit inspected by our 
insurance inspection team. The new purchaser must
 also agree to participate in any Lancair endorsed training program. Only 
upon receipt of this agreement and payment of the $300.00 transfer fee, will 
L.I.I. transfer and update files so that service support can be continued.
