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!

Lancair 360, = was 95% done, now back to maybe = 60%.....
