G’day Bill, you are far too generous
in your recollection.
But reading a couple of the posts on big V
small, I can draw a comfortable conclusion.
My post was not intended to be a critique
nor an attempt to bias an opinion. Just a review of the reasons of the bigger
tail imposition by the local authority.
However my grasp of literal efficiency is
slipping and perhaps sent up blood pressure when it was not intended.
Regards to you and Sue.

PS I am currently planning a coastal solo circumnavigation
of Australia. It’ll be a Lancair
first if it comes off.

original tail??
Dom,
sorry, I don't recall any "ropeyness" in your flying at all. Seemed
just fine to me. I dunno, I just can't seem to discover any problem with my
small tail after 1,400 hours in all kinds of conditions. I rather like it this
way.

The
only Lancair’s I have handled in the air were all large tail versions,
with one exception, that being N5ZQ in the States. Bill will undoubtedly recall
that I was – let’s say “ropey” – to say the
least.
