    Don't know if anyone's really compiling the statistics, but I'm wondering if there has ever been a plane with as bad a safety record as the IV-series Lancairs.  If this were a certificated or commercial airplane, the hue and cry would have grounded the whole fleet long ago.  It seems to me that, based on the number of total airframe losses and the number of associated fatalities,  this design ought to be put on the shelf for good.
