David, I have been watching the development of the LP-1 with interest. After you complete the LP-1 do you have an plans for a larger version which could seat 5...
Tim, I had requests at Oshkosh for a four seat version. I studied it a bit and think that it wouldn't be too much of a problem to do, really it's a new ...
A 5 or six place would be ideal. But I guess we could live with a 4 place as long as it is a true 4 place - "adults and a bag or two" Seriously David, You are...
I hedged the bet by saying a five/six seat aircraft. I have three kids, so if the plane is a true four seat plus luggage airplane; I could always use a bench...
David, while we're talking about future mods to your awesome design, I'd like to mention that having 120gal. or more fuel capacity would be a really wonderful...
Dave, let me first say "WOW" Your LP1 is an outstanding feat of engineering and craftsmanship. I've been lloking for a 1500 mile/plus aircraft (LAX..SGF) and...
Michael, Thanks for the interest. To answer your questions; I haven't gotten a deposit yet. I have quite a few wanting to go ahead with the program, but I...
David, I can forward some info for the heat/A/C that I have done significant research on for my Mustang II, if you're interested. The cost isn't high in...
That would be good. I had looked at a system for hotrods, actually the under dash unit is very nice, but I would like to find a smaller compressor if possible....
I am always in favour of higher fuel capacity, but fuel in any large quantities in any place but the wing is hard to do. About all the extra space somewhat...
Over 2,000mi range is impressive. Looks like you got the range base covered as well with the wing tanks. I'm looking forward to seeing the prototype fly with...
At OSH you mentioned that there was a good posibility that the production kits would have duel turbo's due to some availability problems with the one on the...
IMO, an intercooler is mandatory for any turbo setup. Helps prevent detonation and gives you more power with zero overhead (except a little weight and space.)...
I have a few Holset turbos for the first few aircraft now, with enough orders I can get a production run of these from them going. Aside from that, IHI is...

Standard air temp for FL300 is -47F, and I'm only boosting to 27", and the Holset I am using has an efficiency over 82% with it's unusual inward reverse scroll...

Michael, I can't speak for Mr. Algie, but typically when flying a pressurized aircraft the pressurization system is adjusted before take of and prior to...
My concerns were more towards dropping the compressor discharge temps for the cabin air to tolerable levels. Typically systems use either a sonic venturi and...
Please advise the location and name of your friend that builds Lancairs for customers. Thanking you in advance. Werner E. Janer ---Los Angeles California area...
Really, I should consider renaming this group to Algie Composite Aircraft/ turbocharging theory.... Just kidding, but there are a few of us, me one of them, on...
David you are infact correct, the citation as well as most [ I don't know of any that don't] have their depressurization valves linked to the squat switch,...
Hello All, After reading all the email on turbos and intercoolers. I have a basic question, I know the technical differances between a supercharger and a ...
Dave I couldn't agree more as to the benfits of streight trubo-2-plenum ypu've designed. A distance measured meer in inches. Gotta love simplicity. Adding an...
Turbo advantages: No direct drive from the engine makes it altitude sensing in that it will speed up as the density drops, automatically compensating. No...
David, With A/C being a drag during the majority of the flight, but needed in the warmer clients during taxi and take-off. Why assume that A/C must be belt or ...
I looked into that question for my current plane. I couldn't find an acceptable solution for mine, but it does have a bubble canopy so the heat demands are...
True, you could drive an A/C compressor with an electric motor. Problem is, the motor would have to be possibly 5 or more horsepower, and that's a large, heavy...
