Thanks Ian, that is good to hear.  After the catastrophe at Stoddard-Hamilton (Glasair/GlaStar) I was concerned about starting a new kit plane.  From what you said perhaps I should rest easy with my ES-P project. 

Robert, Et Al,

 

I have had a relationship with Lancair since February, 1989 (they were still in Santa Clara, CA) and I have never had a support problem even though the cast of characters has changed somewhat (except maybe for Vern who seems to have been around since Mt St Helens first discharge).  I try to buy my continuing support parts from them (tires, epoxy, glass, tools, etc) 'cause it's a mutual two-way street.

 

As a matter of fact, it is Lancair's continual introduction of new products that keeps them in business.  After all, the Legacy was introduced after all us short and skinny (well, I used to be thinner) folk had bought up the 2-seat 235/320/360's until there were no "medium" sized aviators left to pruchase such a wee personal airplane.  The IV's were introduced because some people just don't like to slog thru the weather.  ES's, 'cause some fliers were actually raising a family and needed more than 2 seats. Etc, Etc............

 

Lance just couldn't leave well enough alone...
