Can you comment please, as I am researching the purchase of a IV-P fastbuild. Thanks,< I think we have beat the AOA discussion to death. The Lancair family of aircraft are high performance, well designed, sport aircraft. All the comments about AOA apply to all aircraft not just the Lancair. I have a Lancair 360. I also own and have owned a number of different production certified aircraft. My Lancair is better engineered, flies faster and higher, is less expensive to operate and maintain, and is more fun to fly. It is a stable IFR platform as well. The building process was enjoyable and educational. You will find that the family of Lancair builders are highly motivated, very successful in their own right, and opinionated too. This forum is an opportunity for Lancair builders and flyers to discuss problems, solutions and ideas. Safety issues (AOA) are always at the top of the list. The discussions are honest and open so you should not read into them any more than what is said. You are wise to consider the Lancair. Since you are researching the IV, perhaps you should arrange a ride in one by contacting Lancair at (541) 923-2244. You will be very impressed with its flying qualities. There may even be a IV in your location.
