Rob,

 

I think that your summary of the positions stated was excellent. Risk/ reward is a continuum that we all must deal with in the design/ build/ fly stages of our project. I am not advocating zero risk but am certainly encouraging sound thought into the design-- especially for those who will put their children and grandchildren in these machines.

 

Paul, Brent, Hamid and myself have all explored the plusses and minuses of instrumentation in the Lancair ad nauseum on this list. I hope this exercise has helped those now designing and building a new panel. I apologize if I have insulted anyone.

 

Regards,

 

Jeff
