My brother is building a Wittman Tailwind and has had a longer than expected wait for his Langair gear legs, any other Pireps out there?

He placed his order in June 2022 through Aircraft Spruce and paid in full, but has yet to receive an ECD, and hasn't been able to get in touch with anyone at Langair, and Spruce hasn't been able to tell him much either. The Tailwind uses tapered rods for all 3 gear legs, similar to Van's RV landing gear. Langair also supplies gear legs for Vans RV kits and he's concerned that he may be getting stuffed to the bottom of the order stack in light of those larger buys from manufacturers.

I know this is BeechTalk, but am curious if any of our members have any bleed-over exposure into the experimental world and might have some additional knowledge. Any ideas?

I see that he started building them in 1969. Might imply that he has slowed or stopped production as he eases into retirement. His cell number is listed on his website.

You may not have been shuffled to the bottom if it is a FIFO scenario.

Hey everyone, wanted to close the loop here. My brother did receive his gear legs about 6 weeks ago and is jigging up the fuselage fittings on his Tailwind build.

Thanks for the inputs, here's a pic!
