Wow, that thing takes off like a rocket! What is the best climb rate you've seen? 4,000 ft /min +?

What a mean little flying beast! I like the lumbering gait - looks funny but isn't to be tampered with.

@ljackso Much, much rather have a IV. why anyone in the world would buy a combolia is beyond me. 620,000 for a 200kt airplane? Versus a 310 knot IV?

Okay, the beginning of the video is one way to commute to work if the runway was a road. Camera man, when panning a fast moving object, don't look through the viewfinder, you will lose your object you are trying to film. Either look just above the camera like you would a rifle or look beside the camera and follow your object. Hope this will help you become more skilled in filming.

it is only a matter of time Cessna will cease production of the COL
Put that engine in a Corvalis 400 and you have a real nice airplane!

While that would seem to work well, unfortunatly the Corvalis is not pressurized as is this aircraft. The engine is most efficient at FL270 or FL280. At that altitude I see 310 knots TAS burning 31 gph.

I agree. Lancair named this model the Lancair Projpjet to differ it from the IVP.
