Interesting discovery. I'd still feel better if you had a baffled pan.
Love your plane BTW. Had an itch years ago to build a Lancair IV, but unfortunately not the budget. Did quite a bit of flying with friends, helped a friend rebuild a Cavalier plans-built plane that he purchased when it had been mothballed for years after the builder had a prop strike. Beautiful flying plane. Then spent many an afternoon in his hangar as he built an RV9a and an RV10.
But alas, I have too little time and too little money to pursue all of my interests, so I've limited my "hobby" to automotive. And after such a great sacrifice, my wife thinks I have too many cars! Go figure!
Keep us posted on your adventures and development progress!
Fabricating baffles for side loads during a cornering event is pretty easy... Baffling a pan to help in up and down G forces is problematic for sure...
