Maybe you don't need to go slow in a Lancair, but you certainly need to know how to handle the airplane if and when you inadvertently enter the critical angel of attack region of flight. Based on out stall/spin accident history, I guess many of our Lancair pilots didn't know what to do. Training is the answer. Slow flight and stall training isn't done for the joy of flying slow and recovering from stalls. It's done to train the pilot and to give him the skills necessary to fly another day.

I agree totally Bryan, I have had a few calls asking how slow can I fly my
lancair and how it will handle. I say, why do you ever want to fly your lancair
slow? Why not learn to fly it fast? Do you ever need to go slow in one? NO you
don't, learn to land them at a speed where you have a lot of room left for
error. Ron
