Achieving 167 knots speed and 2.5 mph per horsepower, the aircraft revolutionized the homebuilt market, offering pilots more performance, freedom, and value than anything previously seen. The prototype exhibited such advancement that it is now displayed at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Museum in Oshkosh, WI.

In 1993, Neibauer launched Pacific Aviation Composites USA (later renamed Columbia Aircraft), eventually developing the type-certificated, piston single-engine Columbia 300. In February of 2003, Neibauer announced the sale of his kit company to Joseph Bartels. Since the sale, Bartels has led the company forward with Neibauer’s legacy, developing the new Lancair Evolution. Developed with the …
