Suffolk Folks
(sorry):
I feel a little like
a second-class citizen in the Lancair homebuilder community because I bought my
plane already built. No one has treated me like a lesser being... I just
feel that way... like I haven't earned my stripes. That being said, I
would like to join you all at Suffolk if I am welcome. I haven't been to a
Lancair fly-in yet, nor have I participated in a race, er, I mean "timed
event." I should warn you that I will be bringing my freshly overhauled
IO-320 with a brand new Hatzell prop, 10:1 pistions and ported, polished,
flow-balanced heads. Lycon says it will probably make 180-190 hp!
Grease will probably put me with the 360s!
Anybody want to
black-ball me?
If not, I'm looking
at a 4+20 flight (no wind) from Kansas City (unless I stop to take a
leak). What's the schedule of events? Would it be better to arrive
Friday afternoon? Any recommendations for a nice B&B to stay
in?

N320WH - 472 hrs. -
Reassembled after prop strike teardown but not flying yet due to fuel system
issues, controller being overhauled as
we speak.
