Have any questions about the LX-7 or interested in buying one? Contact myplane@mojogrip.net
At Oshkosh 2019, DAY 4. And we are checking out the LX7-20.
Lancair’s have been around for ever in the general aviation world. They build fast, I mean really fast single engine piston airplanes. In today’s world of aviation, there’s a company in Oregon, RDD taking these ready built lancair 4 seater airplanes and putting some incredible mods on them. The result is what you see in the video; A Lancair LX7-20 Turboprop Aircraft.
The LX-7 model is built off of a ready made Lancair IV-P, an experimental 4 place airplane. RDD collects the plane from the customer, dissembles it, adds new beefed up parts to increase performance and safety. Then they give it back to the customer. Some of the new addition includes a parachute system, new firewall, new wings and the list goes on.
As a customer, you also get your options in engine choices. A standard LX-7 will come with a piston 350 HP continental engine capable of cruising 250 knots and take you as far as 2400 nautical miles. Opt for a turboprop engine in the LX7-20 though, and you’re in a different class of business. The turbine LX7-20 will cruise 280 knots true and take you as far as 1400 nautical miles with full tanks.
The price? a cool million give or take. The LX-7 cost about $850,000, and the LX7-20 cost about $1 million.

Honestly, with the specs, I expected it to be $1.6 million. My goal is to one day own a used Piper M600 and get it for around $750K, although this plane is amazing. The only thing I like better about the Piper M600 is that 1. it's easier to get into and 2. the cabin class comfort. But this plane is amazing.

@@tribulationprepper787 Older planes with that kind of performance are insanely expensive to maintain. Nobody seems willing to talk about this. Yes, you can buy an older plane for less but it will also break nearly every time you fly it. Look at the Cessna 310. You can buy those planes under $50k but they cost $30k per year to maintain. I fly a new "expensive" plane that never breaks down and sips fuel. With planes you pick your poison. Buy low maintain high or buy high and maintain low.

@@tribulationprepper787 I agree that a mil+ for a small 4 seater is crazy. I like that people are doing this though. This is where innovation is born. They will sell maybe a handful of these but maybe the building of this plane breeds some new tech that advances something else, maybe that capital goes into something more mainstream, who knows. Either way, buying old worn out planes from the 60's-70's is just not a good idea.

The Lancair IV-P costs about $200,000 to $500,000, depending on options, time on the engine, etc. I "flew" a virtual IV-P around the world in Flight Simulator and it's truly badass. That was an old model with only 2 seats but had nearly the same performance as the LX7-20. It would cruise at about 280 knots at 23,000 feet and fly 1500 miles on a tank of fuel. It climbed and descended with amazing speed but was very agile, requiring a light touch on the controls. Naturally I'd love to have the real thing but there's no way I could possibly afford it.

A PC 12 for 1.5 mil is going to have thousands of hours on it, much higher maintenance, fuel, hangar cost and landing fees. The same goes for the MU2. This Lancair is a brand new 0 hour airplane with the latest tech, clearly designed for the turbine rated private pilot who wants to get from A to B fast with the reliability of a turbine. If youre in that market theres no point in looking at 6 seat airplanes. Considering you can price a brand new SR22T up to 1 mil i wouldnt say this is such a bad value.

Expermental is great. My RV-7 can get me coast to coast in 13 hours (no wind) on about 110 gal of 100LL. However that is not my normal trip, which typically is 200 to 1200 miles one way. I'll fly commercial to go coastal or international. Granted my RV-7 is only 2 people packing light. Its complex buying a turboprop or jet, but bottom line what are your needs, what is the mission and budget. Operating cost of any turboprop starts at $600 hr for owner flown. Jets are double. The range of hourly cost is wide. The experimental Turboprop is likely going to he cheaper to operate but may not hold resale value as well?

Do the math on any of the Piper cabin singles- their payload/range is pathetic. This thing you can fill with fuel, pax and bags and go a long way very fast.

It's a great piece of engineering (except for the water ingress in the tip lights) My only problem with this class of aircraft in no matter how you extend the range it can only go as far as the weakest bladder on board. This class of aircraft simply is not comfortable over about 2 hours 30 mins. The turbine would make this a very expensive aircraft, you'd nearly be better off buying a well maintained reasonable old light bizjet!

A million bucks and it comes with water in the wing tips. That's shameful they'd even display it with that condensation in at the tips. Kinda makes ya wonder about the rest of the innards if they can't make something as simple as a properly sealed running light.

I'm sure they will fix it. The seal probably just failed.

If you're a pilot you keep thr glasses on during sunlight. It keeps your vision and it helps for night vision adjustment, your eyes will adapt quicker.

It's certainly a nice plane. Looks great and flies fast. However it's narrow and you still have to climb up a wing. For that money I'd buy a used Piper Meridian or M500. The biggest draw back for me living in WI is no FIKI (flight into known ice) option.

Interesting way to skirt the rules on amateur built aircraft.... Candidly, this model will be built to a higher level than the average homebuilder can do.... Simply because of the economies of scale and you have people building it more than one time.... Especially considering the 12 week build time.

Can it be modified to carry additional tank under-fuselage to extend distance additional 90gallons? approximately 720lbs in fuel plus 20lbs weight of tank. can the engine handle the weight to thrust ratio. ? if you can add another 800miles to the distance then the price is justifiable.

I've been following this plane VERY closely for a while and was able to talk extensively with these guys at Oshkosh; for the money (about 950K) I don't know of anything that can rival it! There is a cheaper piston version as well but for speed, range, performance and safety.....Compare it to a new Cirrus or high speed twin...The new Lancair Mako would be a good alternative due to cost but with corresponding reduction in performance.
