Sorry to confuse. N110UX was a Glasair at FFZ. It did have a new supercharger (Vortec I believe) and the fatal flight was the first with it installed. for more details check the NTSB synopsis.

Okay Rick, after losing Shannon Knoeflein and his plastic aircraft N98SN departing OSH '04, you now have my curiosity.
Shannon was running a Vortec Supercharger from Rick Schrameck's company in Las Vegas on his winning Lancair Legacy. The same Rick Schrameck that conceived, financed and produces the controversial and sexy EPIC (now of Bend, OR). The same pursuit that triggered the FAA investigation and rewrite of the 51% policy we all feel so acutely. Do name who your neighbor is! Do tell us if the Velocity (N110UX) was running a Schrameck Vortec Supercharger. I have lots of pictures for the curious on the gorgeous kit he assembles for sale to those of Stout Heart. Kit builders should tread lightly with Superchargers, Turbochargers and other exotic mods on our beloved RV-10s - YMMV.
Lancair does not have a Supercharger offering, however there are independent professional builders who offer aftermarket knockoffs (Don Barnes comes to mind). Most exotic variants are the Continental TSIO-550 with intercoolers. Darrel Greenemeier (Reno) comes to mind with Andy Chiavetti's mods. Now Lycoming (Lycosaurus) has responded with the twin Intercooler, FADEC Lycoming IO-540 variant in both Certified and Thunderbolt iterations for the 21st Century Evolution OBAM.
The gene pool is too shallow to fund too many losses each year. Let's make '2009 less than three , "Shall we?"

Good points David,
I think I'm familiar with the company you are referencing, matter of fact they are right behind me in the hangar row...I know they are Lancair builders by trade, and they also put out an A/C system where the compressor runs off the Continental accessory drive, impressive stuff but nonetheless, I don't really know them...their Lancair superchargers are some of the best out there from what I have been told, but ummm... they tend to come down with frequency too. They do have a some affiliation with the Reno crowd...All speculation on my part...they are a high tech heady bunch if they are ones you're talking about. If not forgive, my finger pointing. You don't get a cold one at their joint, unless it's club soda so...as you might guess I don't visit often.  But I do like club soda!!!
