Following the two Lancair fatal accidents within six days of each other in 2006 CASA bought into the issues of safety of the type. The SAAA ran a survey and one of the owners was asked to draft a training document which I believe can be obtained by contacting the SAAA. With the sort of experience oldm8 has I imagine he would transition easily as long as it is understood the Lancair is no Cessna.
Reading the accident reports from the US indicates mishandling appears to be the primary factor in the majority of cases.
