Hi Bernie,

I own Legacy #299 and originally planned on Cheltons (1996).  The =
company stopped offering their sport avionics a couple of years later =
and I went with Garmin 900 + TruTrak Sorceror.  For hard IFR this is a =
phenomenal package but I don't know how many are out there, and beware =
of leg clearance if you find one; the big screens require a big panel =
that limits leg room.

Separate notes:
-- IO550s with Iskra starters are prone to starter failure.  If you buy =
one, you could wind up with an engine pull to replace the starter and =
adapter.
-- I believe some early Legacies had actuators for the inboard gear =
doors that were inadequate; this was fixed before my kit (#299).  The =
gear doors should stay firmly retracted under all conditions.
-- This January, Lancair issued SB074-0111 to replace main gear =
overcenter links and modify the main gear hydraulic actuators to =
eliminate cracking that could lead to the gear being unable to retract.  =
My airplane was one of many that actually exhibited the problem. =20
