Gents:

 

Many thanks for all of your excellent feedback and suggestions regarding my future panel.

 

One of the comments that came through loud and clear = was “GET an AOA Display!”

 

Comments were “Do yourself and your loved ones = a favor and add a separate AOA high up and near the glare shield.”  = And “you don’t practice stalls in a Lancair.  You do everything = possible to avoid them.”

 

I’ve read posts about “stall = strips” and “vortex generators” and other mechanical assists to detect/minimize/avoid stalling.

 

Most of my 1,000 hours of PIC time is in my old = Cessna 210.  It only goes half as fast as a IV-P, and has never scared = me.

 

What am I getting in to with the IV-P?  Where = can I read about the flight characteristics of the bird?  What happens if = you stall a Lancair?  Does it recover?  Does it spin?  Is = huge altitude required to recover?  What should I know/read/do as I get = into this?

 

Thanks,

 

John Hafen
