Charles,
Yes there was a strengthening of the aft fuselage starting
below the aft windows to 2/3 the way up the vertical stabilizer.
This is an Aerochia mod that was suggested and approved by Greg
Cole who was involved with the original design of the Legacy.
It involves adding four additional layers of carbon fiber in the
area shown in the attached pictures.
It is my understanding that anyone can now request this to be
done when their kit is produced by Lancair. I don’t know what Lancair
charges for this.

Lynn, very interesting. Have you made any mods to the
structure or the control surface counterweight scheme from the basic kit?
PS -- Congrats on the speed, Wow.

Having coffee with some high time pilots this morning, the
subject of Never Exceed Speed came up. Before I read the original
Van’s article years ago, I thought Indicated Airspeed was the
indicator… WRONG, it is True Airspeed. Does your EFIS display
TAS or do you have a table for reference??
