600th Lancair IV Delivered

 

Redmond, OR – (December 26, 2006)  Lancair is pleased to announce that on November 27th, Richard Schaefer from Austin, TX took delivery of his Lancair IV-P kit, serial number LIV-600 in the Lancair IV series.  The Lancair IV series includes the Lancair IV, Lancair IV-P and the Lancair PropJet.  The first Lancair IV wing kit was delivered in April of 1991.  There are over 275 flying to date. 

 

Schaefer was ecstatic about his kit and his time at the Lancair Build Shop.  “This was a dream come true for me, to own a Lancair.  The experience has been amazing.  The people here at Lancair have made it so much more than I expected.  Their enthusiasm to my project has been overwhelming.”  Schaefer spent three weeks in the Lancair Build Shop.  In that time he was supervised in the closing of his wings, horizontal stabilizer and elevators, installed the windows, door and wing fairings. 

 

Lancair has a fleet of seven aircraft they offer as a kit: Lancair Legacy FG, Lancair Legacy, Lancair ES, Lancair ES-P, Lancair IV, Lancair IV-P, and the Lancair PropJet.   To date the company has delivered just over 2,000 kits.
