Pete,
I agree with you. I've been using 4 PSI for the last five years in the
interest of reducing cabin flexing. Easy to achieve by setting the
controller to 2000' above the cruise altitude. Mine settles right in
at 4 PSI. Dunno if it makes me safer but it makes me feel
good.

The Lancair-IVP seems to be the
only pressurized plane I can think of that doesn't have removable
windows. Windows are a relatively frequent replacement item on
pressurized aircraft. Has anyone figured out a way to make the windows
replacable? Seems that would be a logical and practical
modification/option for the factory to offer. Also... What about
lowering the maximum PSID to say, 4 PSI? With as many window blow-outs
that have occured with the IVP, a certified aircraft manufacturer would have
long ago come out with an AD or service bulletin and/or mod to address this
very critical aspect of high altitude pressurized flight.
