Today I spoke with a CFII who was asking me for help regarding an issue he has with a pilot who owns a Lancair 4p.
I am not calling names, so in case he is a follower of the LML, he can take your advices.
This plane has tons of issues, as a matter of fact the Cfii told me that from the last 11 flights he had, 10 had emergencies, like engine out, total loss of electrical power etc etc.
The plane has an OP technologies (old setup) avionics who is not working right etc.
Above all this the owner is a low time pilot, and according to the CFII he is flying the plane with 2 hands on the stick because he doesn't know how to use the trim.
So when I was hearing this I was shocked and told him that he should first get the plane checked out by somebody like Charlie Kohler and than fix it and than sell it.
The CFII told me that he already told him this but that he was stubborn and doesn't want to sell.....
Now this is a next statistic waiting to happen and I really feel bad, so what would you do?

Originally I tried to be clever with installing mine in the copilots naca vent. This did not work, we got erroneous numbers. The probe needs to be out completely in the air to give you proper information.
