All pilot cannot be that bad. To my knowledge from this web site, there have been four L-1V fatal accidents, in the past three months, one in Mesa Az., the Grand Canyon, Mexico in April with a training pilot, and the latest in Billing Montana.I think it is time for the factory to step up and deal with this It is a great A/C that I have flown, but with this amount of accidents it might be time to take a hard look at it. I have flown 7 high performance A/C ,and many light A/C. I am a little concerned about the stall problems, if you can not do a stall in a turn, or power on what, happens when you get slow on base leg or holding pattern or any unusual attitude. PS I like the A/C Chuck
