Comments Starting into my fifth year. Everything complete but engine and panel. No header tank. Placed hyd. pump in notch for header tank. I have some ideas on things I would do differently if I were to do it again.

New builders, I have some advice for a layup table and jacks. Contact me by e-mail.

Comments I started this project in 10/98 and have worked on it as a fulltime job since then with the exception of a 2 month trip. I am an inventor by professeion and am putting in several innovations as the project goes along. All my developments have been fabricated by myself to this point, however, I am looking for help in finding a way to get engine, brake and hydraulic fluid level indicators installed that show the LEVELS! Also, having a fluid level rapid decent alarm for each. Ultimately, this and some of my other innovations may be transformed into marketable products or kits some day.

Comments Great Performance! Climbs 1000 ft/min up at 180 ias at only 2500 rpm. This is faster than my 64 Mooney cruises. On the same engine it is about 60 Kts faster. Been flying it since 1995 and thought it would not fit on my airstrip. So it spent its first 4 months at the Bryan airport. But it does fit as long as the grass is dry. (1300 ft with clear approaches) I installed the Leading Edge shock absorbers and the differance is incredable. Just bought an L IV kit from an estate.

Comments Purchased Super Fast Build Kit at Sun N Fun 1994. It was one of the 3-part kits offered at the time; all I have currently is the tail kit. Due to personal reasons (2 young children, job change, etc.), I have only been able to spend minimal and sporadic time working on the plane. The HS and elevators are essentially complete and I hope to purchase the rest of the kit soon and resume a more rigorous building schedule/effort.

Comments My partner (Howard Swingle) and I purchased this plane already flying (100 hrs)from DeGallier in Minn. It was completed in 94-95. We have had it one year now and have replaced hydaulics with the newer hoses, replaced the clear plastic fuel lines with yellow ones (the clear lines were hard, rewired it extensively and in general tore it down and put it back together again with a lot of new parts. We added larger cooling vents for the cabin (we were frying!) and now fly cooler. Fixed a leak in the header tank, blew the avionics stack by breaking the bus bar between the avionics bus and the master bus - complicated but it put high voltage through the stack on start up! = expensive and frustrating. Finally got the Vision Microsystems Instrument to work = rewiring a lot - replacing fork connectors with round ones and soldering the wires to ake good connections....Before that the manifold pressure was all over the place and the rpms were fluttering...Had to send the autopilot back to get a different motor to keep the plane from oscillating back and forth = $400 but it works beuatifully now. No major problems with the aircraft itself - flys a true 200kts at 8000 ft and is a joy to fly.

Comments I have just paid for the kit and am scheduled for my "week-at-the-factory" to close out the wings, etc., December 13th thru 17th, 1999. I will trailer my kit home on the 17th. I have a dedicated 40 by 60 foot heated shop with a full complement of tools. I am currently building all necessary tables and jigs. I will work full time with at least two assistants and plan to use "Critical Path Software" to manage the project. We will work two shifts if required. My special interest will be in a "Gee Whiz" super modern dashboard, EFIS etc. We Hope to fly to Oshkosh 2000. We will need all of the good luck that good folk could wish for us.

Comments This plane is worth the time..it gets better and better. It has not been problem free, but they have been overcome one by one!. I had a small air leak in my Dukes boost pump that caused rough running, etc and was hard to track down but is fixed and the engine purrs now. Have had a brake that drags after application that heated up on a long taxi at an airshow and caused the nylaflow line to burst and almost started on fire.. suggest a heatproof line near brakes. I have not yet discovered the cause of the dragging. Otherwise, 70+ hours and flying.

Comments Currently wiring my instrument panel. At a late date, I changed from King nav/ coms to Garmin 430s GPS/NAV/COM and had to start over on the wiring. Except for some minor adjustments, all the rest is done, including paint and upholstery. I have done all the work myself except for some of the body work and most of the upholstery. HVLP painted with Randolph urethane--hard stuff! I loook forward to participating in the site. Incidentally, I began the project mid 95.

Charlie Kohler inspected and flew my LC30 on April 26, 2000, then trained me for a couple days. Except for a few fixes needed and flying off the remainder of the 25 hours, I'm ready to go. One very important fix will be to correct the left wing heaviness. This will hopefully be accomplished by reboring aft spar attachment holes one bolt size larger to move up on the right and down on the left. Note to fellow IV builders When mounting the wings and setting the incidence angle, remember to check the incidence at the wing tips. Even though my angles were exact at the wing roots, the tips were different by 1.6 degrees. With this difference it is necessary to have about 1/4 inch aileron deflection to fly wings level. How the 1.6 degrees got there is a mystery. (Wing cradles???) By paying attention to this when wings are being mounted you can save yourself some trouble and refairing later.

Everything else went fine and I am particularly happy with the stall performance with the stall strips. My thanks to Charlie for a great job of inspection and training--and for helping me fix a number of things before we flew.

Comments I have put 375 hours on this plane in two years. What a blast! It took 22 months and 2,500 hours to get it flying in primer. After 200 hours of flying, I spent another 500 hours painting and determined that building is whole lot more fun than painting. The finished product is really worth all the pain and suffering.
