Dico,
You raise a good point. Last year there were six serious Lancair accidents with ten fatalities. One involved a LOBO member. There have been three fatal accidents involving members since 2008. I cannot recall the total since then. I can give you a more complete picture later. Type club members (Lobo, Cirrus, Bonanza, etc.) typically have an accident "rate" that is less than half of the overall numbers because they participate. The PIC in the latest accident was not a member and did not attend the Sedona Lobo fly out where we had three days of training and seminars and just good fun.

If the accident rate for Lancairs is 500x that of commercial aviation... do we have a break down of what the rate is of LOBO members vs. Non-members. I would hope that by just being a LOBO member and reading/learning from this group that the accident rate for us is more in line with the 300x experimental or even better than that.
Have we gone through the Lancair accidents to see if the PIC was a LOBO member. It would be interesting.
