Learning to fly in your own plane makes sense if you can afford it.  When the
Air Force taught me how to fly (many years ago), the course included 20 hours
in a piper cub, then 120 hours in a  T-6. (600 hp), then 40 hours in a T-28
(800 hp) and finally 120 hours in a T-33.  This was a pretty accelerated
course that also included formation, acrobatics, and instruments.  The point
is that learning to fly in high horsepower machines isnt anything new.

It might be more practical to analyze the expenses incurred in using a
Lancair  as a trainer.   Fast is fun but faster is not a requirement for
learning how to fly.  If your going to do any traveling in your Lancair, then
an instrument rating is a necessity BUT faster is not a requirement to
practise your instument flying.  Anyway, if you have the bucks to burn, WHY
NOT???  Regards, Bill Hogarty
