Perhaps you should get some hard data BEFORE you pass judgment on an
exceptional  aircraft and the quality kit manufacturer who produces it.
Because to suggest that Lancair would continue to sell a kit that was
unsafe and should be "put on the shelf for good" is at best
irresponsible.  How about talking with the test pilots, experienced IV
pilots and the aeronautical engineers to have studied the IV airframe
and get back to us.
