Beaware of insurance. A Lancair 235 is a hot complex aircraft.

An article on AOPA magazine states that in general single-engine aircraft with
retractable gear and 201 or less HP requires 500 hours total time and 100 hours
in retractable gear. The Lancair being a kit might raise those requirements.
This actually scared the hell out of me (I'm building a Lancair 360) with 185
hrs and just a couple hrs retract time. But I'm ready to fly with an instructor
for whatever time necessary.
