I am giving serious consideration to building a Lancair ES. I am focusing on
this particular kit in the Lancair line because I am just now working on
getting my private pilot certificate. I believe from a safety and
insurability standpoint, a tri fixed gear is pretty essential. I believe the
Lancair ES would be a great cross-country plane that I can go on trips in
with family and friends. There has been some recent discussion regarding the
"fighter like performance" of the L2000, 4 & 4P (all the Lancair retract
gear kits) and the difficulty level of learning how to fly these planes
given their flight characteristics. I assume the ES has flight
characteristics mostly same only slightly slower and less efficient. Given
the fact that when I would be finishing the project, I would still be a low
time pilot, would it be advisable for me to consider a kit that would be
more forgiving to a low time pilot?
