BTW that airplane used to be called the Lancair Tigress and it had
an Orenda big block Chevy V8 based engine. It had a sharp lipped
P51 type cooling scoop as well.

Paul,

Be careful with your non-engineer generalizations. :) The Evolution and
Tigress share little, if anything, beyond the name Lancair--even with a
sharp lipped cooling scoop.  Your credibility is slipping.

The Tigress had the same lower half fuse mold as the IV as I recall.
The fuse is horizontally split down the middle.
I suspect they both use the same lower mold and landing
gear.

They did change the shape of the windows :)
You obviously have inside info Tom :)
Is it the same as the IV?

I stand corrected.
