It was actually a slow build kit with minimal work started. Many items said to be complete (minus 10%) had zero work done on them. The canopy and frame was the most aggregious of these claims. Other misrepresented items included actual factory purchase date, not actually being a fast build kit, short engine mount while claiming long mount, a carbon cowling. My point is to look at several kits and hopefully assess the project with someone who has built one. The workmanship was done by 3 individuals with 3 distinct qualities. Some of which would require backing up and redoing. These kits were sold from $20-$30K in the 90's from Lancair. I've seen some of the new fast build kits (more work done at factory) that had not been started for sale from $17-$25K lately. I'm looking for one myself to build with/for a friend. If you'd like to talk more don't hesitate to call me. My kit FB #417 serves as my benchmark for assessing how much work is done and needs to be done. I logged every hour (3300) and now feel have a reasonable ability to assess actual percent completion.
