Jeff,
I'm the new guy around here, and I certainly don't know
everything - or even as much as most of the other folks here. But I want to give
you my two cents. You can ABSOLUTELY fly a Lancair safely and to an exacting
standard. Even as a low time pilot. Period.
I would suggest a *complete* checkout by somebody like Dave
Morss (and there are others that you would be in good hands with). While my
training was adaquate, my education in flying my Lancair 360 since then has been
steep. Just to give you some idea of scope, I have over 9,000 hours in 89
different types of aircraft, but I am no superman. I respect the aircraft's wing
loading, glide performance (manhole cover) and handling.
There are areas of the flight envelope, and cg envelope, you
just don't mess around in.
Having said all of that, please do go fly a Lancair Legacy or
360. If you are ever in Phoenix, I'd be more than happy to take you flying. You
will truly enjoy and appreciate the airplane and its
performance.
