Is is April 1st already?

  

 Usually about the time of Sun n Fun the latest radical designs show  up.  

  

 This one is a bit amusing.   Despite being a taildragger, it has  no elevator...a la Dyke Delta?   But wait, the Dyke is a tri  gear.    Should be hell to flair.   Also would be a  long hard runway bird.

  

 550 lbs empty.   Even Burt Rutan had trouble trying to get the  VariEZY  to that weight.   Not to mention that it is a wet lay-up  bird.

  

 And on 20 less horsepower it is going to fly faster than a Lightning.

  

 And of course it is not built yet. 

  

 Thanks for the post, I appreciated a little amusement.

We'll see after a time as this plane will fly. Until then look at it: http://lightspeedengineering.com/News/News.htm . This is a modified design of the aircraft which is 25 years and it can fly at a speed of around 204KTAS at an altitude of 17,500 feet using just 4.7 gallons per hour with 100HP engine (Continental O-200)!
