A "kit" can be complete and has had no work done on it, still in the shipping box! It could also be almost ready Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:33:23 GMT alfred_newman69 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2966 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2966 Location would be helpful, as someone may live near you. Bill Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:08:00 GMT matt couch http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2965 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2965 As to Rick's question, "What is the current progress of the kit?" The kit is pretty much complete except for doing some micro and doing the priming & painting.

There likely several hundred things to look for and it Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:03:58 GMT Craig http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2963 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2963 Hi Rick, Go get another DAR. You may also have to go to through another FAA office. You are the builder and you are the one that determines if an aircraft is Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:01:43 GMT Glenn Long http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2962 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2962 Find another DAR? Get a second DAR opinion? De-register your aircraft number (junked or something), apply for a new one and move. Unfortunately he is the local Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:54:02 GMT 2Plane http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2961 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2961 I'm new to all of this but I'm getting one heck of an education really quickly. Now I'm a little concerned that a DAR is having way to much fun with us. My Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:08:15 GMT Glenn Long http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2960 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2960 Blake, You'll get a ton of feedback on this one. Remember, experimentals are self-certified. The ground rule is that you need the equipment for the approach Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:10:11 GMT blake hermel http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2959 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2959 I want to make my Lancair 320 IFR certified. It currently is not, from all I can tell. What guidelines should I follow? My avionics man seems reluctant and Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:13:13 GMT wxfcstr01 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2958 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2958 I am thinking of purchasing a L360 kit that is almost complete. I've only seen pictures of it so far and I'm planning to go take a look at it before buying. Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:05:42 GMT R Bart http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2957 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2957 Hi Bill.... I contacted Lancair today and they told me that the header tanks in both the 235 and the 320 are the same.... they said they only made one tank for Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:32:26 GMT 2Plane http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2956 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancair/message/2956 Looks like I'm going to have to open these wings up. Anyone have 235 wing jigs they are done using?

I've owned both, and the 235 tank held 12 gallons, the 320/360 only 10.
