The Lancair brakes locked up at Marthas Vineyard (parking brake issue). Flew to Wilmington and slept well. Chris' amazing team had the parts to change the brakes in the morning with the wife in the FBO. We had fun and made it to FL. Lots of Beeches in the shop too! I calculated I could change 50 Lancair brakes for the cost of a Eclipse brake swap; I love this airplane! Chris was so cool he let me owner assist the brake change. I really enjoyed it!
