I think it would benefit all of us if we stopped crowing about how safe each of our Lancairs are because we have not personally had serious accidents.  Lancairs are more dangerous than planes like 172's because of how unforgiving they become when errantly flown outside of their envelope.  IMHO, most accidents occur after a sequence of mistakes by a fallible pilot that ends with departing the safe envelope.  In a 172, recovery is easier - in Lancairs, not necessarily so.  Flying our high performance unforgiving airplanes does take a level of diligence that is above what many pilots I know possess.  Training is critical.  But even more important is not making mistakes on a routine basis that can cascade into catastrophe.  We fly high performance unforgiving aircraft that are inherently dangerous relative to most other planes.  We need to constantly remind ourselves of that and treat every flight, no matter how benign, accordingly.  Pete
