I located the old prints, circa 1986, in a shoe box in our store room.  I didn't find any pictures of the single bay industrial space Lance occupied in Gardena.  I did find pics of #001 being built in that industrial space.  When I was there, it was being built by Don Goetz and an associate, while a photographer was there documenting the build, in order to write the assembly manual. Lance was at Oshkosh at the time.

 

Check out the pictures in the Photobucket album to see how far we have gone in 28 years:

I'll do it.  Give a little time to dig out the old prints and to scan them.

The first Lancair in Gardena, Calif. yes.  But not in a garage; it was in a single unit multi-tenant industrial building with a 8'x8' office.  I've got pictures.

If you want to get technical, Lance built the first prototype in a garage in Gardena, CA, I think.

Come back to where it all started

 

What? We’re moving the fly-in to Santa Paula???    :-)

I wonder if the FAA would let me fly off my 40 hrs. on a cross-country flight from NC to OR...
