I'm picking up a 235 kit soon and called Lancair about the retrofit nose

gear strut.  They indicated they would have some available in Feb for

about 1K.  In service bulletin #9, dated 2-15-88, it states:



  "This retro fitable assembly is considered a MANDATORY    

   INSTALLATION...There will be NO charge provided your

   old assembly is returned".



When did Lancair start charging $1000 for this MANDATORY retrofit.

Did not Lancair fabricate enough assemblies for all the kits sold, and

are they not going to live up to their statement in S/B #9?  Have other

builders had to pay this much for the same MANDATORY assembly?



If the answer to these questions means I have to buy an assembly does

anyone know of a builder who wants to sell one?
