Hello everyone
I am thinking of building a Lancair ES. In fact, I have been evaluating
a partially built kit that is for sale.
I'm wondering what is the smallest engine that has been successfully
used and what climb, cruise and economy that could be expected from it.
Also, how well does the ES fly. Are there any little quirks with the ES
that is a concern? How difficult is it to get used to the side sticks?
Can anyone advise me?
Thank you.
Gary Pennington

Gary,
I have a kit (mostly completed) for sale.
The ES was originally designed for the Cont. 360 (210 HP).. Many were b
uilt. and fly well. Some folks have put Lycomings in (6 cyl.) and they d
o well too.
With the IO-550, you can run lean of peak on less than 12 gph at 180-185
knots.
Call, if you're interested in my kit.
Tom 970-420-1798

Hello Brian
Thank you so much for your response.
I currently have a 1998 Piper Archer III. I just listed it for sale so I
can build an ES. I'd like to sell the Archer and build an ES for the
same amount of money. To keep the cost down, I would like to use an
O-360, 210 horsepower engine in the ES. I'm wondering if it would
perform well.
Have you had any problems with the main gear legs? Any shimmy? Any fuel
delivery problems or leakage? Does the plane handle well? Is it
difficult to get used to the side sticks?
Thanks again Brian
Gary Pennington

Gary,
Building a plane is not just exactly like selling one and buying another.you
will probably be without a plane to fly for several years if you sell then
build. The best build plans have a way of life getting in the way of them.
If you can get a good deal, I recommend that you find a kit partially
completed and look at it very carefully to see if it is done with quality so
you want have to redo anything.
Good Luck!
Bill B

I endorse what Bill is saying. I am on my 10th year of building a L-IV. Life
has a way.... In any event, late in the game you will require an engine and
a panel. That's a good time to sell the plane that you are flying for the
final expensive touches that you need to get airborne in the ES
