Sounds
like a good job on the reaction time---however---you say they have the newly
designed parts available "for sale". Seems to me if there was indeed a design
problem, then they would immediately ship the new parts to all owners of record
free of charge. Just my opinion.

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.
