Default Lancair Legacy Design Flaw?

Look at the picture. It's easy to see why the Lancair is dangerous. The
horizontal stabilizers appear to be on the too small side. This would
result in their stalling before the wing. Then the aircraft would pitch
up making the main wing stall. Ill-conceived, IMO.

A good lawyer needs to get on this with respect to BadWaterBill's
untimely demise.

Bill would cuss you out for saying that.

And?

What is the area ratio of stab/wing?

Did you notice that the wing is tiny too?
