Order Book For The LX7 Aircraft Conversion Package Is Open
What if you could trade in an old Lancair IV-P for a beautiful new high-technology aircraft with offering speed up to 260 KTAS; a range of over 2,100 miles; radically improved stall and slow speed handling, Garmin avionics, Therm-X Deice, whole-aircraft parachute, and; a more spacious pressurized cabin with ergonomic leather seating for four all for just $550,000?
It’s not too good to be true. RDD Enterprises announced today that it’s taking production reservations for its brand new LX7 Aircraft Conversion. The LX7 represents an exponential improvement on the IV-P in performance, safety, range and comfort.
The LX7 blows past previous industry standards in every relevant category, with a list of features and advantages so long that the plane has its own website(LX7aircraft.com).
Highlights include:
- Handling: The LX7 expands on the aircraft manufacturing technologies that RDD has developed on experimental projects for Airbus and others. This gives the LX7 a stall speed of 63 knots, resulting in dramatically improved handling characteristics compared to the original IV-P.
- Avionics: Standard equipment for the LX7 includes a two-screen Garmin G3X Touch Flight Deck, the latest in WAAS technology coupled to the autopilot, with envelope protection and an emergency level function.
- Performance: The LX7 climbs at 2000 ft/min to reach cruising speeds of 260 KTAS @ 24 gph and 250 KTAS @ 18 gph. The combination of speed and endurance will take you miles beyond where other aircraft have to stop for fuel, making your trip shorter and more enjoyable.
- Range: Coast to coast without stopping? It’s totally possible with the LX7, with reserves left over. Fuel capacity is 180 gallons.
- Safety: Full-aircraft BRS parachute, Garmin EFIS with Active Traffic, Forward looking terrain, synthetic vision, and Satellite and ADS-B weather, AmSafe inflatable seatbelts for the forward occupants, and a pressurized cabin environment, single piece wing with dual spars
“The LX7 offers owners an unparalleled combination of performance, safety, luxury and value,” said Dave McRae, one of RDD’s owners. “There’s just nothing else like it out there. I’ve been flying since 1989 and this airplane is like a traveling machine dream come true.
"I can easily fly from our facility in Redmond to just about anywhere I want to go without refueling," he said. "And the comfort level is superior to the original IV-P due to the increased leg room and passenger space. Flying with pressurization and greater fuel capacity increase confidence and peace of mind when tackling long distance flights.”
You can reserve your LX7 production spot today by calling 541-504-0305, or by filling out the contact form on the LX7 website. If you don’t currently have a IV-P to convert, RDD will assist you in identifying an eligible aircraft.
RDD will be displaying the LX7 fuselage, avionics and interior at the Sun ‘n Fun International Fly-in Expo in Lakeland, Florida, April 5-10.
