Looking at the pics, it looks like Jerry Rodger's AC system that was installed in his turbine. If that is the case, it is an early LIVP kit converted to a turbine during the build process. I believe there was a problem with some of the early door construction proceedures that could cause a window failure. I believe the problem was corrected with the prebuilt (fast build) door. Perhaps Tim Ong could enlighten us on that problem. I (and I'm sure every other owner/builder of a presurized Lancair) would like to know the cause of this failure.

Is there another with that paint job?
