I am the President of our local EAA Chapter, and have been flying a = Long-EZ I built, since 1986.  I know from a close friend with an O360 Lancair which = he built and has flown for the last 15 years that Lancairs, at least the = small tailed ones, require special care until one is familiar and practiced with their characteristics, especially when landing. 

I learned today of an older, orphan O-235 that is being prepped by a = local A&P shop for its new owner.  The plane has sat idle in a hanger for at least four  years, but appears in generally good shape. The new owner has never flown it, and is not current in anything.  However, he says he has flown a 320 = or 360 Lancair in the past.  

In the interest of ensuring the new owner does not have an = early, preventable accident, can you recommend someone who can provide the A&P with a list of any special Lancair items to = check on his reinspection, and someone else who can either check out the = new owner in a different Lancair, or in his new one, provided the new owner is willing to accept some guidance from this = person.
