Hi Shannon. Very interesting! When I owne my first LAZAIR ,the C-IEAU,serrie II I wanted to do some upgrads on it , only stuff that was permited by ulraflight, as wide landing gear. I had noticed that the picture on the blue sheet showing a low stick configuration.I called the company to ask for the up grade and they said that it was not available and that they did not recomand any instalation of this type because it was a prototype at the time and that they where not happy with it .
Couple of years later ,I cam across a LAZAIR with this very same instalation. I realy liked the fact that there was nothing hanging under the seat so very good ground clearance and very simple to take wings apart.
As for that paint paturn, that plane with the low stick I am telling you about had exacly the same color and paturn and their was a second LAZAIR with this paturn on that same airport. The airport was cooper airport in St Lazare Quebec MTL. I still don't understand why they did not want me to make the upgard on my machine as there are some flying with this set up out there.
If your friend's LAZAIR is equiped with this low stick set up I would be interested in somme pictures. I now own an elite III and would love to install that set up for ground clearence.
Thank for your time
