We visited our local EAA meeting last night where we met a builder who has encountered some fairly disturbing problems with the parts to his "Super" FastBuild Lancair 4P. In brief what he ran into was warped ailerons, components that were preinstall being installed as much as a half inch out of position, and other instances of (for lack of a better word) shoddy craftsmanship. I wanted to get the opinions of some of you on the builders list. Also, if you have run into these problems, how was it handled? Did Lancair step up to the plate and take care of the problem, or were you told to fix it yourself (as the builder I spoke to last night was)? Thanks for your time...
