“The Mako flies beautifully, with characteristics that offer a

good balance of maneuverability and stability.”

PERFORMANCE perfected
Outperforms the competition at every turn

I ntroduced at EAA AirVenture 2017, the MAKO is the sleek new

4-place design from legendary composite aircraft pioneer Lancair.
With Mako, the emphasis is on usable performance — not just
‘bragging rights’ but real world responsiveness you can count on every
day. Starting with a sturdy composite airframe that’s built to stringent
utility class standards, the Mako is designed for the long haul.
Painstaking aerodynamic refinement helps you get the maximum out
of every gallon of fuel without compromising the Mako’s nimble,
yet docile handling characteristics. Carefully shaped LED wingtips
minimize roll coupling while providing as much illumination as a
commercial airliner! Finally, the (optional) auto-retracting nose gear
adds 10-12 knots of cruise speed by eliminating the high-drag nose
gear from the turbulent prop wash — without the potential insurance
penalty of a fully retractable gear aircraft.
Ultimate performance is, of course, dependent on the powerplant.
And Mako’s robust airframe is engineered to accommodate multiple
engine options. Select from a variety of Continental or Lycoming
motors — normal or turbocharged — that best match your ‘sweet
spot’ for power, range, altitude and fuel consumption.
In short, the Mako offers an unequaled range of options to meet your
mission requirements, providing a beautiful, capable and easy-to-fly
alternative to Cirrus and Cessna TTx at a fraction of the cost.

COMFORT & CONVENIENCE
F rom the moment you settle into the seat and pull the gullwing
door closed, you’ll feel like the Mako was made for you. The sleek
aesthetic of the aircraft’s exterior is echoed in the purposeful interior
design. Like a premium sports sedan, Mako’s cabin provides an
inviting environment with superb visibility and exceptional control.
Mako’s cabin design is driven by ergonomics as much as by
aerodynamics. Behind the raked panoramic windshield is a cozy,
comfortable cockpit, optimized for piloting from either side. The
center console stick and dual side-mounted throttles offer pilots an
easy-to-fly aircraft that makes even long flights a relaxing experience.
Supple ergonomic seating keeps passengers comfy and secure, while
careful attention to streamlining, form and fit ensures a quiet cabin
with minimal noise and vibration. And interior customization is
virtually unlimited. From the outside in, optional upgrades include
everything from dual gullwing doors, articulating seats and electric
freon air conditioning to inflatable shoulder harnesses and state of the
art entertainment and lighting packages.
The real test is a long-range

to a 5 or 6 hour flight in

will ensure you touch down

and more. It’s effectiveness is reflected in range (over 1500 miles), fuel
consumption (under 15 gph, normally aspirated) and cruise speed
(180 - 190 knots without turbocharging).
The high-strength, lightweight airframe provides superb runway
performance (600 ft takeoff / 800 ft landing roll) from grass, gravel
or paved airstrips, breathtaking 2,000 fpm climb rates and robust
durability in the event of serious weather.
Moreover, the Mako excels at “active safety” - also known as excellent
handling. The easy-to-fly aircraft offers a rare combination of
responsive, nimble handling and excellent stability, rewarding pilots
with tactile feedback and exceptional ergonomics.

BUILDING YOUR MAKO
M any GA pilots have discovered that there are significant advantages
in Experimental-Amateur Built aircraft over traditional certified
models. E-AB aircraft offer superior value and performance, increased
flexibility, allowing you to utilize the best technology, and the opportunity
to become intimately familiar with the aircraft in a way that non-
builders will never be.
For newcomers to the E-AB world, though, the prospect of building
their own plane introduces them to unfamiliar territory. Lancair’s
Builder Assist Program is here to answer your questions and guide
you through the process of assembling and outfitting your Lancair. A
Lancair aircraft build can range from 100% individually built in the
owner’s garage or hangar – a process sometimes measured in years – to
a ‘Fly-Away’ build requiring only a few weeks of on-site effort on the
part of the owner – and a completed aircraft in only a few months.
Note, too, that major portions of the aircraft are not covered by the
51% FAA requirement, such as avionics, interior, paint, and many
other systems and options. Considerable time savings can be achieved
by subcontracting some or all of these areas and, where possible,
performing them concurrently with the airframe assembly.
There are several benefits to the Builder Assist Program. The first
is knowledgeable assistance in building the critical parts of your
aircraft. The second is the use of our alignment fixtures and tools,
resulting in accurate fit and finish. The third and most important is
the instruction and confidence you receive by learning the basics of
composites. In short, the Lancair Build Center provides an efficient,
purpose-built environment for the assembly process and, as the
manufacturer, we have all parts and fixtures readily available during
your build.
The Builder Assist Program is conducted at our climate-controlled
Build Center in Uvalde, Texas. Every Mako kit purchase includes a
2-week Builder Assist Program. In two weeks, you’ll be able to close
out both wings, the horizontal stabilizer and elevators and install the
door(s), windshield and windows. More extensive Builder Assistance
programs are available ranging from a 4-week program up to a “Fly-
Away” option. Even contracted 3rd party builder assistance from a
variety of experienced Lancair “Build Shops” is available.
Call 866-LANCAIR (866-526-2247) or 830-423-3005 today for
more information on builder assistance and other service and support
options.
