When I first started flying my ES I used "Experimental" for the call up. Many of the airports I frequented asked what kind of experimental it was. Probably to ensure they sequenced me correctly. I have now dropped Experimental and use Lancair with N number. Sometimes they confused it with a Lance, and are probably confused when they see the speed difference. I also provide LNCE for approaches, flight following, etc, since it is required. Once they asked if I was a Columbia, but I advised it was an ES.
Seems to me that since Lancairs are becoming well known, the controller would be better served by understanding the speed he/she has to deal with. I have not had a problem using Lancair vrs Experimental. Ed Rosiak

Jim,
So the tower would handle a Lancair with a standard certificate (Columbia 400) different than an ES with an experimental certificate? Is not the type sufficient to know the capabilities of the aircraft? Robert M. Simon, ES-P N301ES
