Lancairs are very clean and fast single engine aircraft. Good safety record. “Experimental” is really not a very apt word to describe these aircraft. They are not mass manufactured and go through an abbreviated licensing regimen. I think some are built in shops and at FBO’s as kits.

I’ve never flown one, but I understand they are nice.

Lancair has 4 models. The Evolution is a 300 knot aircraft. Not sure from the wreckage what this one was. 40 hour “test flight” regimen for all experimental aircraft.
