I know this doesn't have anything to do with Lancairs but the manuevers demonstrated by this Su-30 Flanker-C are pretty amazing.  Apparently a lot of this manueverability is due to longitudinal instability, canards, and thrust vectoring.  Watch the wingtip smoke as the Su-30 manuevers.  At the end note that the curved final approach is flown with the speed brake deployed, and a heck of a lot of tailplane action.
