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!
