Rob, the only EFIS on the market installed in any flying Lancair IV-P Turbine or Sentry is the CFS.  BM hasn’t been installed/tested/flown in a Lancair Turbine that I’m aware of.  Lee’s Sentry has a dual screen CFS installed and the only other test that has been completed to that level was the Chelton against a Litef Laser-Ring gyro, real-time, to gather comparison figures against the Crossbow 500 AHRS.  Lee’s Legacy that he races has a single-screen CFS installed which records data as he rounds the pylons at Reno and then can retrieve after the race to “see” his exact course line and “look” at all engine parameters.  Lee’s Lancair IV-P Turbine has conventional instrumentation.

 

The BM gear was installed and tested in Lancair’s company IV (N409L) which is the original factory prototype IV.
