I have seriously considered the RV10 and maybe the Lancair ES.
The Lancair 4P is cool... but the safety record of the Lancair 4P is somewhat poor....
The airplane is probably too hot for the pilots, my self included.
It was damm hard to type that ;-)


I don't know about the safety record of the IV-P but the ones I've seen
on Controller.com are not cheap - more than a new G1000 182. Not sure
how comfortable I'd feel in an amateur-built pressurized airplane. One
of my friends had seriously considered selling his 182 for a Lancair IV
(not pressurized) but the insurance was prohibitive, apparently (he
explained) because of the small pool of IVs flying to spread out the
risk.
