Every time a Lancair crashes, I do a search on the on the LML for the Pilot, and most all the time I see no posts from them, and on many occasions when I look up the N number I see the plane was for sale at some point. That is very interesting! Maybe a lot of these crashes are a result of people who did not build their plane and as a result are not concerned with all the intricacies that go into building, maintaining and flying such a plane?

Kevin, you may be talking to people that aren't listening!

I know I have an AOA on my plane because I learned about them and the unforgiving stall characteristics of high performance planes on the LML. I know certain safety issues are ingrained in me because of an accumulation of experiences others have had that I read on the LML.

I have taken Pete Z's course and gone over and over how the plane feels in the air on the verge of a stall, to recognize the conditions. Had it not been for the LML I would not have found Pete and made stall training such a priority.

Maybe it is our insatiable quest for more and better information and training that keeps us in the air.
