Experimental aircraft with pressurisation...

You can do what you like if you do a one-off flight or if you “move around”. It’s when you end up based somewhere; you have to stick to the regs or keep a very low profile and do quick random flights to random places… Same with income tax

That blog is interesting… very nicely written, and remember this was 3 years ago. They say they had zero tech issues!

Yesterday we had to divert and return to Luanda because of the ice buildup we accumulated penetrating some heavy cirrus clouds at 25,000’

Hmmm….. somehow I don’t think they were “cirrus” But, 1/4" of ice is good; it means this plane is not a marginal design.

so it should not have the scary handling characteristics which the other non-certified Lancairs have

What scary handling characteristics? The scary thing about Lancairs is high wing loading and correspondingly high glide speed. They all behave like that. The Glasair had scary handling when the CG was at aft position, but that is fixed ages ago.

Is there a Lancair Evo in Europe? Would it be allowed to file airways?

I know of a at least one Legacy flying IFR to the edge of RVSM between the UK and France
