The article is about Dave Roach and his 235/O-320.
When I was buying my 235/O-320, I was fortunate to find Dave to teach me to
fly a Lancair, and to help check out the purchased aircraft. It turns out that
my airplane (s/n 30) was effectively that twin of Dave's. Mike Dehate was
first with the O-320 installation and also pioneered the flap fence,
and prop selection. Both aircraft later adapted the round inlet cowl,
oleo nose strut, debongers, flexible fuel-transfer options, and other
details as described in the article. Both aircraft are continuing to
improve year by year as we make modifications.

In buying that particular airplane, I met and gained two friends
in Dave Roach and Mike Dehate. It has truly been a great pleasure
to get to know, learn from, and fly with those two gentlemen.
