ES-Pressurized and ES-2 Door Models
There's a new Lancair kit in town, but there seems to be plenty
of room for it in the industry. Officially called the ES-P
(Pressurized) Lancair introduces an entirely new pressurized
Fastbuild ES kit plane, including carbon fiber wings and fuselage.
This new Lancair kit is priced at $94,900 and is now available with
a $6,000 deposit to place the order. Air conditioning is one of
various options available through Kit Components Inc. for $8,000,
and is the same system currently used and recommended on our IV-P
model.
The ES-P will be powered by the Continental TSIO-550C, 310hp
engine, allowing for a cruise speed of 255 knots @ 24,000' within
the comfort of a pressurized cabin. The ES-P still retains its
61-knot stall speed of the original ES, but the gross weight will
increase to 3,550 pounds.
Lancair sales manager Kim Lorentzen noted, "We've added more
fuel capacity to the ES-P wings that allows for 105 gallons on
board. This additional fuel provides the range (1,200 statute
miles) in a pressurized aircraft that our customers
want."
Another new development at Lancair is the addition of a second
door option to the existing Fastbuild ES kit. This new second door
adds a completely fabricated fiberglass door to the passenger side
of the aircraft. All latches, the window, and mechanics are
preassembled, and only the doorframe is left to be installed. For
only $8,900, ES builders can have much easier access for all
passengers. Availability on the new second door option will be
approximately July of this year.
