One of my favs.
https://lancair.com/lancair-president-wins-sport-silver-in-2019-reno-air-races/ Of the top 15 fastest aircraft in Sport Class, 9 were Lancair models. Repeating his 2018 performance with yet another win, Andrew Findlay in “One Moment” set the pace, winning the Sport Gold class at a speed of 390.744 mph. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1764437624.jpg |

Icon has new owners https://generalaviationnews.com/2024/08/12/new-owner-for-icon/
There were budgetary problems and prices were soaring. Former ousted CEO died in a wingsuit accident amid lawsuits. I don't know that much. Still it's an incredible air craft. Simple controls to fly as a car (and marketed as such). Land on water or ground. Spin proof. Neutral stall and docile. Has parachute. The few accidents were operator error. Wings fold up to be trailered anywhere a boat will launch. I think they even sold a matching trailer at one point. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1764450840.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1764450854.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1764450868.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1764450878.jpg |
