 Dan,
 I looked up the data compiled and posted on the LML list a while back.
 There were only three ES accidents, accounting for 3% of the total
 Lancair accidents.  So, I wouldn't think it qualifies under #1 above.
 As for #2, while it is a bit subjective, I don't think the ES's numbers
 support that conclusion either.  One of the reasons I picked the ES is
 because I felt it would be more insurable than the faster models.  It's
 a shame to be denied insurance because of the material its made from.  I
 wonder, are the Diamond and Cirrus insurable?  How about the RV-10,
 which is part glass.
