In early January John Halle reported in the LML about a
problem we discovered with the rudder bellcranks on his and Carl Lewis' Legacys
and Lancair was contacted about the problem. About a week ago I had the
opportunity to fly John's Legacy over to Redmond and took the bad parts with me
to show to Tim Ong. He told me that they had looked into our reported
problems, agreed there was a design problem with the bellcranks, redesigned some
of the parts, built prototype parts in house, sent revisions to a supplier and
had new parts in inventory to solve the problem. These new parts will be
in new kits and are available for sale to anyone who wants to upgrade existing
planes. In less than three weeks they acknowledged a problem, redesigned
it, and had replacement parts in stock. If that's not worth a pat on the
back I don't know what is.
