Got a chance to fly a Lancair Legacy 2000 recently. 310 HP IO-550 Continental, glass panel... Never having flown a glass panel or a plane this quick, it was exciting. We climbed out at 180+ KIA and leveled off at 230 KIA. Yea baby, I feel the need for speed. Throttled back a bit and did some 3G steep turns left and right... hit a few little bumps and the tail twitched back and forth like a pike after a minnow. Fly this bird with a couple finger tips or be chasing after it big time, not like flying the Piper Arrow at KPEO. A great lesson in point perspective!
