I was very privileged to fly this beast on my birthday last year. The best birthday present ever. 

We launched and climbed out with a ridiculous deck angle. Tom gave me a quick demonstration of the controls with some cautioning to keep it coordinated. Within just a minute or so, he leveled us off and said, "your airplane." We were at FL150. 

 

That thing looks like a big fat propeller with a little airplane hanging behind it.

One of my pals built himself a turbine Lancair like Tom's, indeed its up in the UP being finished off.  He said it was sort of like a model airplane, just bigger.  I should ask him if he still has the trees the parts came on.

I just saw a video where he sold Turbulence!  But teaser on building something new... faster... possibly pressurized.  I agree, Turbulence looked awesome!

Not that I have insider knowledge but yes it’s going to be pressurized.

The Lancair IVP turbine has to be unreal . I need to start begging for a ride from a certain MS member .lol

I have a good friend in eastern OR I plan on stopping to see on trips to Port Angeles to see my sister.  Who knows, you just might get that ride.

That landing gear looks so delicate. Is it?
