Just a thought, not meant to be hurtfull or nasty. 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.

Yes the Lancair is a handflying handfull.  I am still on my second 100 hours.
 The TruTrak is a must have for any distance.  Absolutly required IFR.
However, with any great plane it requires both skill and respect.  Sometimes 50/50
but many time it shifts either way.
