Posted for Newlan2dl@aol.com:

My wife and I test flew the Super ES at the factory last summer and really 
loved the plane!  We decided to buy the plane but had to hold off untill I 
finished the complete rebuilding of my 37' all carbon racing sailboat, (I 
have a complete composite workshop in my back yard).  That is coming to an 
end so when I called to order the ES, they told me the price had almost 
doubled and the standard kit I wanted was no longer offered!  So I had set my 
sights on the kit and with money in hand, was told they wouldn't take my 
money, nor would they build a standard kit for me.

So I am looking for a kit for sale, the less complete the better, because I 
WANT to build the plane.  And because I have 34 years of composite building 
experience, (including many racing yachts, a few planes and even some 
America's Cup yachts) I am extremely particular about the workmanship and 
materials in the kits.  

Do you know of anyone trying to sell a kit?  I really had my heart set on the 
Lancair ES but if I can't get the Lancair, I'll have to go for the Express.

Thanks!
