Weight and Balance calculations are critical in the Lancair IV as in all
high performance planes.  This is not a friendly plane at aft C.G.  Take a
look at the website, www.Flyincg.com for an innovative product to make
calculations easy and quick - 10 or 20 seconds.  I did a demo on this at
Oshkosh and found it most satisfactory.

Now comes the problem.  They don't have a model for the LNC IV and don't
plan to do one.  In addition to the $40 cost of the aluminum plotter and the
$10 cost of the laminated graph on which you do your calculations, there
would be a $200 one time design fee which the owner of the company is
unwilling to gamble on.  

My solution is to find out if other IV pilots would like to have such an
instrument.  If I can put together an order for 10 units, that would
amortize the design cost down to a reasonable number.  Please e mail me at
350cl@silcom.com if you are interested.
