If your skill level or the plane's performance requires a 'Tru Trak' or any other similar gadget, are you really qualified or safe to fly such an airplane? My opinion is that you clearly are not ready for such an airplane -- more training needed. I'm guessing, based on the number of avoidable accidents, that many Lancair pilots are not ready for their airplanes. Another gyess: The bulk of these pilots have the 'right stuff' but lack the developed skills to cope. Bill Kennedy >Yes the Lancair is a handflying handfull.
