Does your  hangar group think  some of the accidents also involved lack of proper rudder control during  the turn, especially when they tighten the bank?

Could be, but not discussed.  However, it is, I think, generally well known
that sometimes pilots like to lean on the rudder peddle to accelerate the
nose coming around, and this can cause major problems with the inside wing
calling it a day.  It just adds to the sequence of mistakes.  So maybe the last error is:

"The Lancair pilot, seeing he is overshooting the centreline, and knowing he
should not bank any steeper, unconsciously leans on the inside rudder peddle
to tighten up the turn to final.  Stall spin crash burn."

Good point.  Something else to watch for.
