Redmond, Oregon-based RDD Enterprises, a professional builder of Lancair’s experimental aircraft models, is in the process of developing a conversion for the ultrafast Lancair IVP model named LX7. The new model uses existing IVP airframes and brings them through a major modification process — new wings, a new empennage and a completely revamped cockpit.
