After a fatal plane crash took the life of a jogger in mid-March, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) vowed to take a closer look at high-performing, amateur-built planes. This week, they issued a safety warning, cautioning that such "homemade planes" have a tendency to stall at slower speeds, often as a pilot is preparing to land.

The FAA noted that these amateur planes, which are built from kits, have been involved in a disproportionately high number of fatal plane crashes. On top of this - even among planes built from kits, the FAA found that Lancair models are much more likely to be involved in fatal crashes.

The pilot involved in March's fatal accident was flying a Lancair IV-P, which can reach speeds of up to 330 mph. While designed with safety in mind, as each plane is assembled by an amateur pilot, the FAA noted that each may have "unique flight handling characteristics."
