Johnson, MD" : I am certainly no aerodynamic wizard, but am an average pilot with 600+hrs in my Lancair IVP--the pitch sensitivity has never been an issue or concern. I flew once in the 320 with small tail--now THAT scared me! Doug Johnson MD N654DM >>>Having flown the factory demonstrator, it is my feeling that the L-IV-P is more sensitive in pitch than would be desirable for good control harmony. Certainly those with more flight experience (Brent Regan, are you listening?) can comment on this issue. It would appear to be desirable to reduce the pitch sensitivity of the aircraft. Several solutions appear to be possible.<<<<
