<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> From http://www.aero-news.net/ (wow!! -Rob) The first completed Legacy kit was flown yesterday by owner and builder Carsten Sundin,Lancair's Chief Engineer. "Everything was as expected, the aircraft flew perfectly,similar to Lancair's now famous prototype Legacy, N199L," said Sundin. Sundin's gorgeous Legacy is powered by a Lycoming IO-540 with a two-blade Hartzell Propeller and equipped with a new UPS radio stack. "Carsten was instrumental to the final development of the Legacy kit, " says Lancair General Manager, Bob Fair."We have currently delivered 50 of 150 Legacy kits sold and we expect many first flights this year. " The Lancair Legacy is a two-place,retractable, 276 mph cruise, all composite aircraft which was first introduced in 1999. The Legacy kit is the most advanced kit to date, which can be completed in less than 500 hours. http://www.aero-news.net/news2001/0500/images/ramp.JPG http://www.aero-news.net/news2001/0500/images/carsten.JPG http://www.aero-news.net/news2001/0500/images/in_air.JPG ===== I'm sure its old hat for you guys, but http://www.permagrit.com/pages/rotaries.htm are the most amazing bits for routing out prepreg, and grinding off hysol runout that I've ever seen..
