I am IFR rated. (I had the rating before completing the Lancair) I agree with everything John has said. However, I'm very hesitant to fly much IFR in my glass airplane without any lightning 'protection'. We have discussed the lightning 'threat' previously several times so I will not rehash it. Am I the only one with these concerns? If so, how to y'all rationalize those concerns away? The low benign cloud/fog layer is reason enough to hold the rating. Earl
