Gentlemen:

Thank you all for the tremendous response.   We now have over 40 indications 
of interest in a Lancair based association designed to engage in collective 
bargining with the Insurance industry and promote safety thru more 
comprehensive training and aircraft inspections.

These numbers - while falling short of the target of 100 - are encouraging 
and so in an effort to move forward, I have arranged for a representative of 
the insurance industry to visit a builder in Texas and see what goes into the 
building of one of our planes.   Obviously  education is the primary 
objective as if the "paper pushers" understand the product they're insuring 
better they will realize that a Lancair is a far different aircraft than most 
other experimentals.

Anyone who knows of a flying aircraft (320/360/ES/IV or IVP) located in 
Missouri or Kansas please let me know if it would be possible to arrange a 
test flight for him so that we can promote the aircraft in person.  He is a 
pilot with considerable experience and I think this could be the best sell of 
all!   Plus the insurance underwriters like to see a company man who is 
familiar with the aircraft type.

More news to follow as things develop.
