Ok this is why I said nuts
First:
You don’t have flying experience 20 hrs a year + the ticket isn’t
time flying
Second :
this is exactly why most crash there plane in the ntsb reports you read
Third :
You need seat time and a good stall warning device [ aoa] that works not a
pair of wings that will not work on that plane
Just a look at this from my own
perspective you see most of the accidents stem from building the plane and
not flying and that is the real issue
I’m my own worst critic for I hadn’t
flown for some time as well even though I have many thousands of hours I still
think I need seat time in what ever I fly be it a c-150 or a Boeing , Douglas or
a gulfstream which I have many hours in all four
If you go further into most accidents you
might find the power plant failed first not the wing so you might want to look
into 2 engines first then a plane that can accommodate the power plants and
also go twice as slow and 4 times the fuel Be safe
Engine out is a training exercise that
needs training by all pilots and is a forgotten training tool for most of the
accidents are related to forward speed before you reach the gate
I was told this in training some 50 years
ago and it still holds water as I taught it to my students - if all goes wrong

True "composite" question
My LNC2 is near completion and I have started preparing all
the paperwork necessary for the flight permit.
During my research I have stumbeled across the NTSB website
and made a search on "Lancair 360". For those of you who have
not done that (probably most!), this is HORRIFIC reading !!!
There seems to be quite a large number of stall related
accidents, which leads me to believe that the airfoil is basically unsafe.
Anyway, I am not going to fly this thing as is, although I have had my license
for more than 20 years and have accumulated more than 200 hrs.
I have now come across a set of RV-7 wings that survived a
hangar collapse last winter. This airfoil seems much more forgiving, anyway,
that is what my A&P says, and I am trying to come up with a way to install
them on my otherwise finished airframe. I will, of course, have to keep the
stub wings and make them fit the slightly larger RV wing but, apart from that,
would I be in for at lot work? Has anyone done this before? Any advice taken!
Lancair 360, was 95% done, now back to maybe 60%.....
