I am certainly no aerodynamic wizard, but am an average pilot with 600+hrs
in my Lancair IVP--the pitch sensitivity has never been an issue or concern.
I flew once in the 320 with small tail--now THAT scared me!

Having flown the factory demonstrator, it is my feeling that the L-IV-P is
more sensitive in pitch than would be desirable for good control harmony.
Certainly those with more flight experience (Brent Regan, are you
listening?) can comment on this issue. It would appear to be desirable to
reduce the pitch sensitivity of the aircraft. Several solutions appear to be
possible.<<<<
