"...but I am not going to take this Lancair near a stall/spin, period."

 

Followed by:

 

“What you really mean is that you're not going to know what to do when and if you stall
because you've avoided the very simple training”

 

Bill, the two statements are not necessarily related. The initial training for a Lancair needs to include exposure to the stall to assess the speed at which it is likely to occur. That assessed, continued testing of that seems superfluous given the mind set should be clearly engraved to avoid the area whereby such a condition of flight occurs.

 

If Lancair pilots are zooming around a pattern at speeds which are less than the safety margins specified, then it is they who should be questioned by their passengers as to the flight standards they exhibit.
