Lancair Sentry

The Lancair Sentry. This Walter powered Lancair IV is a military-style tandem seat aircraft with left-side throttle controls, and a rear hinge canopy.

The aircraft was designed for military training, but is still available for the typical Lancair customer. Only the top segment of the existing Lancair IV fuselage was modified for the new Sentry, as well as portions of the vertical tail. It also offers increased yaw stability and excellent visibility out of a newly designed rear hinge canopy.

Lancair is offering rebuilt Walter 601E turbines with a TBO of 2000 hours or new with a TBO of 3000 hours. Currently we are using a prototype 82" 3-blade Hartzell propeller; however, an 84" propeller from AVIA is also available.
