  According to a profile article on Lance in the March Kitplanes the Mexican
  Navy ended up with nine Lancairs.  It's unclear if they were similar to the
  Sentry or slightly modified L-IVs.  I remember seeing some of them under
  construction at Lancair back in 2001.  One of the things I recall was that
  they were adding hard points to the wings.  Ya' gotta' wonder where those
  planes are now and what they're doing.
  
  The article goes on to quote Lance as saying that they built the Sentry on
  spec and the Mexican Navy liked it, had an order ready, and then underwent a
  regime change and everything "just sort of stalled".
