I've got my first project narrowed down to my final four: 1) Zenith 601 HD (the old school design with no wing "issues"), the Zenith 701 with VG's instead of slats (better cruise and glide ratio), the KR2S, and the Sonerai 2 stretch. All of these I would build tri-gear.

i have read things here and there about each aircrafts safety records, including some accident reports, but I'd like to hear feedback from the HBA crew here about which ones you consider the safest, and which ones you would avoid. How would you rank them From safest to most dangerous? I'd like to primarily hear about crashworthiness, fatal accident rates, as well as flight characteristics and stall/spin recovery. Thanks!
