Perhaps, James. However, if you consider finding out what your airplane does in slow flight at MCA, gear up/down, flaps up/down, or whether you have a flutter problem at or near VNE, or whether your airplane has a nasty surprise in store for you when (not if) you ever stall it poppycock , then poppycock it is. To me, when you sign off your Lancair after the test phase 25 or 40 hours as (to paraphrase) "fully tested", it ought to have been. I for one would rather know since my wife rides with me and I've learned long ago that a surprise by any airplane, once airborne, is a real bad thing. Dan Schaefer
