Hi all.
My LNC2 is near completion and I have started
preparing all the paperwork necessary for the flight permit.
During my research I have stumbeled across the NTSB
website and made a search on "Lancair 360". For those of you who have not
done that (probably most!), this is HORRIFIC reading !!!
There seems to be quite a large number of stall
related accidents, which leads me to believe that the airfoil is basically
unsafe. Anyway, I am not going to fly this thing as is, although I have had my
license for more than 20 years and have accumulated more than 200
hrs.
I have now come across a set of RV-7 wings that
survived a hangar collapse last winter. This airfoil seems much more forgiving,
anyway, that is what my A&P says, and I am trying to come up with a way to
install them on my otherwise finished airframe. I will, of course, have to keep
the stub wings and make them fit the slightly larger RV wing but, apart from
that, would I be in for at lot work? Has anyone done this before? Any advice
taken!
Regards
Tim Jorgensen
Lancair 360, was 95% done, now back to maybe
60%.....
