I would like to
give a favorable plug for a relatively new shop in Northern Florida that is
specializing in repairs, paint and bodywork for Lancairs. The company is
Trickworx, located at the Kay Larkin airport in Palatka, identifier 28J.
After 9 years of flying, I had them do some cosmetic touchup and bodywork on
my IV-P. They were very professional and did an outstanding job (that is
a lot from me!). I have waited several months after the work before
posting this, just to see how everything held up, and the job still looks
impeccable.
They can do not
only paint and body work, but also have an A&P and avionics person in the
shop. Their prices were reasonable and they worked around my schedule--they
aim to please... They even gave me a photo CD at the end of the job
documenting each step of the job.
JJ used to work
for the St. Augustine Lancair Columbia dealership before heading out to start
his own shop, and Bud Clark is a real artist and perfectionist. If you
would like to send some work their way, I know they would be happy to help
you. Their number is 904-874-4408, and their address is:
