I've been using 4 PSI for the last five years in the interest of reducing cabin flexing. Easy to achieve by setting the controller to 2000' above the cruise altitude. Mine settles right in at 4 PSI. Dunno if it makes me safer but it makes me feel good.

The Lancair-IVP seems to be the only pressurized plane I can think of that doesn't have removable windows. Windows are a relatively frequent replacement item on pressurized aircraft. Has anyone figured out a way to make the windows replacable? Seems that would be a logical and practical modification/option for the factory to offer. Also... What about lowering the maximum PSID to say, 4 PSI? With as many window blow-outs that have occured with the IVP, a certified aircraft manufacturer would have long ago come out with an AD or service bulletin and/or mod to address this very critical aspect of high altitude pressurized flight.
