As a very recent purchaser of a 360, I was surprised when I found the retai=
l sales agreement, but this did not stop me from sending the money in.  I b=
elieve this was created since there has been a good deal of resale of the 3=
00 series aircraft and this helps Lancair, in a very small way, continue to=
 support the 300 series.  I was originally told 2 years ago that they were =
not supporting the 300 series for tech support anymore to new owners, but n=
ow with just $300 I get full tech and parts support.  This helps Lancair al=
so track the aircraft that are being sold and to keep possibly a little bet=
ter contact with the non builder owners.  I believe that the non builder ow=
ners also do require more tech support than the original builder would have=
, since they did not build the plane.  I just had to order a new hing/beari=
ng for my mkII tail, the old bearing was electrolyzed and had a fair amount=
 of play.  Being able to call Lancair and get the exact part I needed in 3 =
days for a 15 year old aircraft is great support.  If they did not still ha=
ve it, trying to fabricate a new part would've cost much more than $300.  I=
 look at it as the same as paying a transfer fee for an extended warranty o=
n a car, except this is much cheaper and they provide support for a much lo=
nger time.  I was not required to get a factory inspection, such as I have =
heard on the IV's.  Another interesting fact is that my plane is being work=
ed on by High Speed Composites, which works with the factory all of the tim=
e, but Lancair would not sell them parts for my plane, unless I signed the =
agreement and they had it in their hand.  =0A=0AIf you want to see a nasty =
sales agreement, look at the one that new owners have to sign to purchase a=
 robinson helicopter.  =0A=0Ahttp://www.robinsonheli.com/forms/addendum.pdf=
=0A=0AThis agreement tells the owner how he can fly his aircraft over what =
the insurance company says and requires the current owner to have the new o=
wner sign this agreement before the aircraft is resold, and if the previous=
 owner does not he is personally liable for anything that happens to that a=
ircraft after the sale.  A very nice catch 22.=0A=0ALuke Alcorn=0A=0A
