Would like to find someone in my area >(Kansas) to inspect a 360 for me. I looked at the brochure of a 320 for 2 years and then bought it. I had the chance to see another one in the mean time. I called the factory to see if they could train me in the plane. Don Goetz(chief test pilot) will fly anywhere for a very reasonable rate to train for a day or two. He may also do this for an inspection. I have 1,500 hours in about 100 different aircraft types. There was no way Don could train me in two days to fly the 320. I flew back to Oregon with Don. The Lancair pilots spend three more days teaching me to fly. Now, with 50 hours on the airplane, I feel about half way to being comfortable. I knew one of the two fellows who had built my plane. I know how he works and thinks. This knowledge had something to do with my decision to purchase that specific plane. It would be preferable to purchase an aircraft that had won a contest or two for its' construction. Remember, it is your welfare that is being bet on someone that you don't know. Kansas is a little out of the way for me(Detroit, 4hr flt) or I would be happy to help you with an initial inspection. Remember though, talk to the factory about a final inspection and training. Lancair's factory number is 541-923-2244. Sincerely, Lorn H. Olsen
