Jerry,

Why don't you want to do the checkout in your own plane by someone 
how has the experience to fly it?

When I bought my plane from a builder in Carson City, NV in 1998, Don 
Goetz flew down from the Lancair factory in Redding, OR. Don spent a 
day inspecting and teaching me how to fly the 320. Don told me that 
Lancair would sent him anywhere for the cost of fuel in his plane and 
, I think, $200 per day. He said that this was Lancair's policy. At 
the end of the day, Don said that there was no way that I could fly 
the plane, yet. I said, "Take me to the factory and teach me some 
more.". Don did just that. I spent 3 more days at the factory 
learning how to fly the 320s.

I thought that this was one of Lancair greatest policies. I tell 
everyone about it.

Is this still Lancair's policy? If it is, call the factory and have a 
pilot come on down to Texas. If it is not, let us all know.

Sincerely,
