I am in the process of finishing a small tail Lancair 360, and have been considering modifying it to a Mark II tail. Is there anyone out there who has flown...
I have experience with both versions. Keep the small tail. Its not worth the trouble. As long as the CG of your airplane is correct you will not have any...
Caveat: I am not a builder, just a flyer... I have owned a 235 and now own a small tail 320. The 235 was definitely less stable than the 320, but I have...
Bill, What kind of performance have you been getting with the airplanes you have owned? I have a C-182, but I want something with more speed and economy. I...
I have just replaced the main tires, (seventy hours of service) on my IVP. They are wearing quickly on the inside edge. The tires came with the kit. Anyone...
The large tail buys you about 1.5 inches of unpublished aft CG range. This is most noticeable when you start packing stuff in the back for a long and heavy...
Hartley, The 320 / 360 series run 4 cylinder engines and are very efficient (~20 MPG statute) The expected performance is about 180 knots at 10 GPH depending...
I have 2000+ hours in a small tail and 1000+ in a big tail. Both all over the C.G. scale. Not a lot of difference, don't change it! I sold a small tail plane...
hello... I am looking for a source for one or both items.... Does anyone have or made a mould for the IV/IV-P winglets and also the 2 foot wing tip extensions...
Anyone live in Maine or the Northeast? Sounds like I need to go for a ride and make sure I fit into the cockpit. Everyone can't seem to talk enough good...
Hartley, I'm building a 2007 Legacy FG which has more than enough room for 5'11" through 6'4" people. The cabin is a comfortable 42" inside and the pedals are...
I hope to get down to CT and check that plane out before the end of the year. Getting down to PHL before Mar/April won't happen due to work commitments. Once...
Hartley, As far as performance is concerned, yes - this seems to be a closely held secret. Way back the CAFE foundation ran a story on performance of the ...
Glen, C'mon, stop teasing the poor man! :-) He said he is in the service - and they don't get paid enough to afford the $100,000 premium for owning a Legacy!...
too funny, if $$ is too tight for the full blown kit, there are a number of 320's turning up in the 40-50k range. If I had known better, that would have been ...

I won't be building a plane... I can/will upgrade the instrument panel or make other upgrades, but in short, I consider myself a pilot and not a builder (for...
Quick straw poll for EVERYONE... What type of Lancair do you have: How fast does it cruise on your normal flights: GPH for this normal flight/speed: I ask...
I did own a small tail 320 (160 HP) and currently have a Super ES (310 HP). In the 320 I would file for 185 kts and for 2 hour legs would be a few minutes...
I am a new member, thanks to all in advance. I am 1200 hr pilot 172,177, bonanza. Need to commute 1200 mile RT weekly. Poor commercial service. Considering a...
Hi Hartley, Today I was cruising around in my small tail 320 at 2450 and 215 kts true at 3500. Craig ... From: galaxyone@... Galaxyone@... Date: Sun,...
Hartley, My ES will fly at the advertised 195-200 knots at 2,550 RPM, ROP. But I usually fly at 2,350, LOP and get between 180-185 knots. Down low (9,500)...
Hi Hartley, Yak 50 is nice. My friend, a former world champion aerobatics contender, prefers the Sukhoi. His is for sale if you know a group interested in...
I PUT A 2 I/2 DEGREE SHIM ON BOTH AXELS TO MAKE THE TIRES PRETTY CLOSE TO VERTICAL. THAT STOPPED THE WEAR. ... From: Jason Singleton <jsnsngltn@...> To:...
Hi Hartley, I have a Comanche 250 also, and my Lancair 320 handles the bumps much better. As far as hot weather just get a good sunshade. Every airplane is ...
Hartley, We are a small tail IO-320 Lycoming powered plane. 190 kts 7.5 gph @ 10,000ft , 42 gallons on board. 170 HP. Flies well, we cruise any where from SL...
Bill, You did not mention the payload of each model. I know that others have said that you can't carry much weight in a 200/235. I would need to carry two,...
