Ihab,
Some of your conjecture and conclusions are way off. For example in the video you reference where you say the Sonex is twitchy in a stall is of the pilot purposely doing spin testing.
As far as stall warning devices, an Angle of Attack indicator is the most effective as the Navy has proven on carrier landings.
The training that we ALL need to have is that in a loss of power event you do not go any where near a stall.
I must also disagree with you where it comes to training. I believe based on that most fatal crashes are with newly purchased second hand aircraft is that training is the answer.
Before you make any other wild conjecture at least get some training in a Sonex.
Where you are correct is we need to find any common cause for the accidents. We also need to find the cause of the engine failures and not accept the "loss of power for unknown reasons". Investigators, whether NTSB or others need to at least give us their reasonable suspicion ns so likely causes can be addressed.
