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
