I have a serial #323 Series II with rudder pedal and muffler upgrades.
185 - Rotaxes that I converted to CDI ignition with the Wildfire kits.
I acquired it from the builder Rick Homes in AZ in June 2004, who got it 90% complete.
Mr Homes bought the kit from a dealer called Saddler, who eventually went on to design his own hot ultralight fighter called a Saddler Vampire.....cool ship!
I finished it up the Lazair and performed test flights in 2005.
I have about 4 flights to date for a total of maybe 1.5 hrs flight time.
You can see some of my flight pics at El Mirage in the Pilots Lounge> Pilots Log thread around the September time frame.
Im very happy with the Lazair and plan to do a lot more flying in the future.
Im located in Lake Elsinore, CA but do my flying from El Mirage Dry Lake in CA.
Anyone interested is welcome to come out and join me.
There are as many as 8 Lazairs trailered at El Mirage but I have only seen Chris and myself active there.
Its a shame the others seem to be mothballed but if anyone is looking to buy one Im sure some of those people could be contacted to sell their planes.
I was a Glider pilot for 3 years(96-99) at SOSA in Ontario Canada.
Getting back into it in 2006 since I now have a Monerai Sailplane as well.
