I have not tried to order the panel or dust cover yet. The panel came with my kit and there are other sources for panels that are better than the stock one anyway. As for the dust cover, I heard the lancair one never fit right in the first place so I have a mold for a new one. I'm not saying there aren't issues with Lancair, I'm sure there area, I just haven't had a problem yet.
It would be a bad day when they stop selling 360 parts but I'm not convinced I can't repair or have made any part on the airplane if needed.
Maybe some of us 320/360 owners should buy the rights from Lancair and put it back into production. :)

Hey Bryan, you tried ordering an instrument panel or instrument panel dust cover yet? For tech advice, Ross is "the man" - however, if you can't get him or Tim, I'll bet your answer started with, "Well, on the Legacy...". Last year at the OSH banquest I sat next to Rob Wolf. I could have sworn I heard one Lancair rep whisper to another, "Ya know, one hand grenade and we can get out of the 360 support game a lot faster..." Gary Fitzgerald

St. Charles, MO I always here about how poor Lancair is at supporting the 360. I have been building a 360 for the past 3 years and I get plenty of help from them on tech questions and I have ordered a lot of stuff from them and they always have it or they get it. Lancair support for non-selling aircraft is very disappointing. Good guess, hell Lancair does not even hardly back up there 360s now so I would not count on anything. Ron |
