Just FYI.
    There have been two lancairs IV's manufactured (assembled) here

in Nashua

NH.  In each case the aircraft cost well over $250,000.   Not for the

Poor,

hungry or impatient for sure.

Best of luck

Not only that but the Lancair IVP was pressurized as an afterthought.

All those

stress relief blocks at the bulkheads front and rear are not the way to

go to get a

good consistantly strong pressure vessel.  After working on one of each,

I think

Burt Rutan's structures are better designed and stronger by a long shot.
