Hi All,
I sent the following to Charlie Becker at EAA. If you have any concerns
about LOM, you might send something to him, also.
cbecker@eaa.org
Hopefully he will be able to find a way to communicate with LOM.

Subject: LOM engine support?
Good Morning Mr. Becker,
I am concerned about the availability of maintenance and repair parts for my
LOM engine.
I purchased my engine directly from the LOM factory. I placed a
maintenance/spare parts order on 30 November 2003 for more than $500 USD per the
LOM
factory representatives, Frantisek Tizek, request.
I added part numbers to the description on two items and added two items on 8
December 2003.
I addressed this to Frantisek Tizek by Email. I also asked Milos Paclt
(technical support) and the director of Aviation technique division, Mr. ing. Milan
Hrdina, for their assistance with this order.
I have tried to locate these parts from Moravia, Nick Carter, Joe Krybus and
Rick Schneider. All previous LOM distributors. (Rick Schneider had signed
his agreement with LOM at Oshkosh this year.)
I have also contacted friends in Germany who provided contacts in Czech
Republic in an attempt to locate these parts.
I have been in contact with LOM for eight years. I went to their factory
engine class at Prague, Czech Republic, in November 2002. My impression of the
LOM company is that it sells engines so the three factory mechanics can travel
worldwide to repair them at their convenience. Every effort is made to NOT
provide maintenance parts, or proper maintenance documentation.
The LOM Company has just been merged with two other companies. My concern is
that this maintenance support parts and documentation situation is only going
to get worse.
Can you please find some avenue of communication with LOM engine manufacturer
to express my concern about being able to operate my LOM engine in the
future? And to be able to SAFELY operate the engine now.
Sincerely,
Jim Ayers
