I have forwarded your email to Jeff Edwards, LOBO's president. He had a IV-P for a long time (now has an Evolution), is a safety expert, conducts safety/accident research for all Lancair accidents, and is one LOBO's CFIIs that gives the transition/recurrent/high performance training.  He should be able to answer any questions you have regarding the things you mentioned.  He is out of town right now, but does have access to email so he should be able to respond in the next few days or so.  If you haven't heard from him by mid-week next week, please let me know and we can follow up.

Thanks,

I am interested in the Lancair IV-P as a replacement for my Bonanza.

Is there anyone associated with LOBO that I can speak with to get unbiased advice on what to look for when shopping for a completed Lancair?

I would like to meet local IV-P owners, learn from their experiences, and see the airplane in person. Does LOBO know of any IV-P owners in my area. I live in Santa Barbara, CA and could easily fly to any location in Southern or Central California. I have not flown a IV-P yet, or any experimental for that matter. If some generous owner would be willing to take me up for a flight, I would gladly reimburse expenses.

I have concerns about the IV-P's accident record. I would be interested in discussing this with LOBO's experts.

Any assistance or contacts that LOBO can provide would be appreciated.
