Why don't they put some of the same innovations in
the IV-P that they used in the Ovation like retractable gear in the wings to
allow for more area in the baggage compartment. Make the wing farings part
of fuselage instead of having to build them on, ( that was very time consuming )
. Lighten up the structure, if the Ovation is so light the IV-P would be even
lighter. Make the wing a little bigger so the stall speed would be in the
sixties instead of the seventies.The IV-P is a great airplane but it could
be even better. I think it would be a mistake to abandon it in favor of the more
expensive to build and operate Ovation.

Subject: [LML] Lancair IV-P long term
availability?
Lancair support for
non-selling aircraft is very disappointing. Don’t expect much series hardware
/ airframe parts help from them if they’re not selling the airplane you’re
building. Very disappointing. Their competition … Van’s … still support the
RV-3 and still sell it! Of course Lancair doesn’t consider them competition.
They think they don’t have competition. Too bad for us.

Good guess, hell
Lancair does not even hardly back up there 360s now so I would not count on
anything. Ron

Gang,
Having built a 320 and loved it I am now considering beginning a
IV-P
project in the next couple years. Given the new Evolution in the
lineup, is
there word on the street whether or not the IV/IV-P kit will be
available
long term? Seems like there should be a market for both but
the performance
of the IV-P is so good that it could be a significant
competitor to the
Evolution.
Thoughts?
