"The Lancair is built from kits, and others like it have design characteristics that allow the planes to fly much faster than most small planes.
In 2010, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a safety advisory to pilots because the planes are prone to stalling during slow-speed operations close to the ground.
An FAA analysis found that the planes have experienced fatal accident rates substantially higher than other small, personal use planes, including other types of planes made from kits, the advisory said. The advisory came after a Lancair plane killed a jogger on the beach in South Carolina."
