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.
