The Lancer 200 became the Lancair 235/320/360 with a significant increase in speed and weight. Martin said the airfoil is wrong for the 320/360 and performance would be significantly improved with the right airfoil. He had not done any work on the redesign, but was strongly of that opinion. Come to think of it, I can not recall Martin ever having any thing less than a strong opinion. I also seem to recall his saying if enough builders were interested he would do the redesign for them since he could not interest Lance. Maybe this forum could determine the interest level and ask Martin for projected performance. I would guess he was talking about the outboard wings so it would be a bolt on deal, bolt on- - - -heck that sounds easy! Steve Colwell
