Hi Gary,
We have met many years ago at a composite workshop in Florida. I don't know if you remember, when we were sitting in a restaurant having lunch you said that your heritage was Czech. I also said that was mine and that my grandparents name was Laznicka!!!
I am in Carmel, California now. My plane, the "Pink Panther" is in Oregon completing a repair from a gear up incident. - hydraulic pump did not work and I should have caught it. I used John "Fred" Hadlich to make the repairs and be the responsible person coordinating with the insurance company. He also coordinated work with Dan Ballin (who is building a plane like mine) to do a lot of the avionics work. John's work looks outstanding to me and my plane is a safer, better plane than it was when it took it's first flight. Fred also repaired an aft window door for me on a previous occasion and improved on the repair (we were short on time at first) during the current repair.
I think John was very conscience about keeping me informed of the status of the repair and tried to be fair with me regarding any costs not associated with the incident. He also was meticulous about keeping records and explaining to me what work he had done. I especially appreciated his taking the time at the end of the repair to sit down with me and review the completed repairs and give me a complete copy of all the paper work.
If I had to do it again (which I hope I don't), I would pick Fred as my guy.
By the way if you need any avionics work Jon Hadlich, Fred's dad is an expert and wired my plane for me. He is a very responsive person which is unusual in the aviation industry.
Dan is a personal friend of mine so I was lucky to get his help.
best,
Ralph
Good Morning Ralph,
Hope all is well, My name is Garry Laznicka and I would like to ask you a favor. I was wondering if you could let me know about your experience with John Hadlich Jr. He provided me with your name as a reference.
I'm a Lancair 360 builder and would like to hire John for some part of building support in my garage. It would be great to hear from you. If it's easier for you to call me, please do so.
Best regards,
Garry V. Laznicka

I have just completed repair on my plane with Fred Hadlich and he did an excellent job. Bob Jeffery, my trainer, said it was one of the top three Legacys he has ever flown. When I get home tonight I will send you the reference and contact info.
Best,

Hi all,
It's been a few months since my exciting highway landing, and the NTSB has finally allowed the insurance guys to take a look.
First, has anyone had experience with a professional shop that repairs experimental aircraft that was POSITIVE (e.g., you were happy with the work)? Preferrably a company which has worked with insurance companies before... If so, would you please send me the contact info for that company?
Next, one of the TIMCO shocks would need to be replaced but I see that
www.leadingedgeaircraft.com is no longer a valid URL. Is anyone making shocks still for the 320/360 airframes?
You should be able to email me directly to avoid spamming the list... :)
Thanks,
Bill R.
