if you trust lancair's numbers...

but, let's assume they're right- it speaks volumes that over what, 550 builders decided to postpone, end, or never complete their build?

It would if it were true but it's not. An earlier link listed 61 that have crashed, and there are still many flying, so obviously way more than 50 were completed. I believe you're confusing the previously mentioned "about 60" flying Epics (and about the same number Evolutions).

i didn't expect to be taken so literally, i guess the point i was making is take the number of kits sold (lancair claim) and cross reference that with the number of pink slips issued...subtract the number of crashes, there's your fleet number, simple math- but reducing the fleet number will not HELP the premiums out on those birds, since i was in the market for one a few years back, i went through all the hoops for insurance and training, it wasn't worth it for me and hearing a broker say, we may not guarantee coverage on subsequent renewal years was all i needed to hear

it seems most flying these are carrying liability only and using them as more of a toy/amusement plane than a workhouse traveling airplane, this is my opinion from lots of reading and observation, i have no links to offer you- and you are free to ignore it as such!
