This week I got some work done on the nose gear. This is an early Lancair 235 that was delivered sometime in 1987. It looks like the previous owner started a retrofit of an early 320 nose gear and left me to figure out the parts. All that's left for the nose gear is to install the firewall heat barrier and and tape in the nose gear tunnel. After this, I can get started on the main landing gear and the belly pan.

Follow along as I take this abandoned Lancair 235 project from forgotten to flying! This kit has been sitting for 36 years in a garage. I purchased it in July of 2022 with the hopes of finally seeing it fly. Finding time to work on this is challenging but I would like to share the experience with you. Whether you have already flying Lancair and want to see the process to build one or are thinking of starting an experimental project on your own, this series should help shed some light on the trials and tribulations of building an aircraft by yourself.
