First, let me say to all the Legacy builders, who have purchased our Legacy Innovations parts, a hearty thank you! I do appreciate all the very positive comments and feedback that have been received over the past few years. Your enthusiasm and glowing comments have been heartwarming, for sure.

In the past, we have made these Lancair Legacy parts in house. While it’s always been a challenge to keep up with orders, we somehow managed. However, as many of you know, we lost our last parts maker earlier this year and, as a result, have not been shipping for quite some time now.

We are officially announcing that we are once again taking orders thanks in large part to a new and outstanding subcontractor most of you are familiar with. With that said, I am pleased to announce that Composite Creations, owned Vern Pifer and his wife Linda, are our new subcontractors. Many of you know Vern from his years at Lancair and recall many positive experiences. We all appreciate all the great help and support that he has provided to us builders over the years. Linda also worked in Lancair’s composite department and has become quite a talented composite technician. They have started their own composite business and we are really pleased with the quality of their work. You will be, too. Also, if you have any need for composite work, please consider them. They have set up a great facility near Redmond, OR, and can likely meet any of your composite needs at a reasonable price. You can reach Vern at compc@qwest.net or call him at 541-408-5106 (mobile).

There is quite a bit of pent-up demand and I am sending an email to all of those who have told me they are just waiting for this announcement. Hopefully, I won’t miss anyone. In any case, go ahead and mail in the order form. We are taking orders, once again!

We are going to be cranking out parts just as fast as we can until we get caught up. Of course, in the meantime, we welcome all new orders and should be able to ship those in a reasonable amount of time, as well.

To begin with, we are offering our three most popular kits:

1)    The Speed Mod Kit (both the full 11 piece kit and the 4 piece kit)

2)    Integral Wingtip Lights kit

3)    Winglets

Next, I hope to add back in our popular Aft Storage Tube. Unfortunately, I have misplaced a key part of the mold. I’ll either have to locate it or make another (very time consuming!). Additionally, I am pleased to announce some new products listed below:

First, we have a new instrument panel dust cover that fits the Legacy. Yes, it fits the shape of the fuselage and works with the standard Lancair instrument panels. Now, there is no need to totally rework the cover that comes with the kit.

Second, we are offering a Don Barnes designed flat EFIS instrument panel. This is just the ticket for those wanting to install one of the new EFIS systems. This panel eliminates the bulge of the center stack and is perfectly flat all the way across. This allows for side by side placement of your EFIS displays or whatever arrangement you like. Very cool. We also offer a properly fitting dust cover for this new panel.

Third, we are offering a series of prepreg products at very competitive prices. Take a look at our web site order form for more information. Note that Vern and Linda make one side of these  panels so smooth and flat that it’s shiny like glass!

One final note, in an effort keep costs at a minimum, the only payment method we accept is a personal check. Therefore, to order our products, click on “Download an order form” on our website. Print this form, fill it out, and mail it to us, along with your check. Once we receive your order, Vern and Linda will promptly make your parts!

Once again, thanks for all your prior business, and we are officially taking parts orders once again!
