I was really impressed with it and have not seen anything better in lieu of safety and situation awareness. The reason why I'm writing here is to know what other Lancair drivers think of it. Is it worth the money ? Does the company have a good track record ? How many of their systems are actually already flying ? What guarantee do I have that they will still be there to support us in a few years's time ? The next 6 instrument panels that Lancair avionics is building for LNC4s are all SFS equipped. Is that a good enough argument for us to follow suit ? I would really appreciate any input from you URGENTLY ! Regards, fili (IV-P) P.S - I was at the fly-in last week-end and was surprised to see so few airplanes there. They blamed it on the weather. But aren't the IVs supposed to fly above most of the weather ? Or at least around it ? How come then there were so many more LNC2s than IVs ? Did I miss on something ? _ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
