This is a new post topic and relates to the problem with the two new owners of Lancair. After waiting for almost 2 years for them to get their act together they’re holding the brand hostage. And the word is starting to get out that Lancair support certain service and parts is getting really muddled.
I think it’s time that the Lobo board probably took this on as an issue and demanded a meeting with the two antagonists that are literally holding the brand hostage
I think some good planning in the background needs to happen first, because there’s several alternatives, including forcing a sale of one partner to the other, or a total sale of the brand, or perhaps Lobo creating a parallel unit as a 501(c)(3) non profit to run Lancair as a parts and technical support company.
But I think the bottom line now is it’s time to do something, doing nothing is not an option as the brand is literally being damaged as we talk.
I know that there are some alternatives to forcing a sale and I think there is some people out there that might want to get the brand and run it as a maintenance parts and repair facility for Lancair, and possibly even get into the production of kits again, but that’s not the big issue right now
In my background internationally and domestically, including work with the World bank, I’ve done a lot of project design, financing, and management, and if I can be of any assistance, I would be willing to help
But I think it’s time that Lobo and I realize a number of people are volunteering a lot of their time to keep Lobo running without adding another layer on top
But really Lobo is the only organization right now to shake this problem loose , but let’s go in with a set of options to put on the table, and if the current owners can’t get their act together, we take action to make something happen
