We are very happy with the performance of the IVP.  We are experiencing 800-1000 foot per minute on climb at the prescribed airspeeds.  We were holding 31 inches at got 270 knots, as promised.  On a recent flight from SoCal to Georgia, with great winds, we were showing 369 knots!  Can't complain too much!  ATC asked us what we were.  Told him a Lancair.  He says "Oh, Lancair."  A pause.  "Is that a jet?"  Told him no.  He says, "Then it's a twin."  No, a single.  "Are you sure?"  was his question.  Makes the 7 year wait to finish it ALMOST bearable!   All other performance numbers have been met or exceeded in terms of climb and cruise, so no kicking from this couple!

A good funny for those interested -- On recent trip from Wisconsin to Colorado, ATC informed a Midwest flight they had traffic at 10'oclock.  "It's a . . . it's a . . . it's a plane."  Then "8PB, what are you?"  "Why, I'm a . . . I'm a . . . plane."  It was hilarious!  Pat and Sue Brunner 98PB
