Hi , In answer to the query about the turbine Lancair IVP, I can confirm
that testing is still under way. Some figures from a recent test flight in
climb were: 85% torque at 1800 RPM gave 150 knots indicated & 5000 feet per
minute climb. On the first flight we were at 2050 RPM & I thought that was
extremely quiet. 1800 RPM makes noise cancelling headsets redundant.At the
moment Frank Fry is concentrating on getting the pressurisation system
sorted. He is favouring the Beech Kingair 100 hardware at this stage. He is
putting together a website but in the interim, those who want to know more
about his aircraft can e-mail him at  belvoir@ca.com.au.

Best wishes  
Gary Burns
