Thank you to those who replied to my post, and I apologise if you are offended by the deception (only one of many on this site?)
I actually have a bunch more experience than indicated, including many "high performance" light aircraft, and I actually have no desire to sit in a Lancair 320 let alone buy one. Just cannot get into plastic for other than boats.
However, I have now lost 4 friends/acquaintances in this type included the pilot of the aircraft in the report above.
Like many, In more than 3 decades of flying I have known a bunch of people who have "bought the farm", but this one has troubled me a lot and has left be to wonder at the advice being given to a relatively low time pilot, by someone.
Maybe he ignored the advice given - don't know! That didn't seem part of his character.
I needed to find out whether, if the senario was posed to a group of experienced pilots, their response would be the same as mine?
It was - "don't do it"!
Cheers
