I have owned both.  THEY ARE = NOT CERTIFICATED AIRPLANES.  Do what you feel is comfortable.  How = does your airplane perform at these airspeeds?  How good of a pilot are = you?  How safe do you think being slow is?  Look at the number of gear collapses on = landings.  These are the guys that think slow is = better.

If you do the math on a IV, you = get 83-85 knots for a final approach speed.  100 knots down final is 1.5 = VSO!

 

=

Lancair lists the landing roll for = a IV at 900 feet.  Is that with a "standard approach" or with = the 100 knot approach speed.  I doubt you could get a IV stopped in 900 = feet with a 100 knot approach, even if you touched down at 85-90 = knots.

 

=

So the question is, do IV's really = have a dirty stall of 65-67 knots, 73-75 mph?

 

=

Do Legacy's really have a dirty = stall of 58 knots, 67 mph?

 

=

What do some of the Legacy and IV = owners report as their observed dirty stall?
