Sonex?

that has about 100hp, can fly basic aerobatics safely and cruise at
least 150mph. My reference and comparison of this design is Cessna
A150. I want a design that has the same aerobtic capability as Cessna
A150 with lighter control(Stick of course!), and flys much faster. What
I can think of a
Europa (not very aerobatic capable), Avid Acrobat/Kitfox speedster
(slow), MCR100 (sophisiticated construction, quoted 5000 labor hours),
Sonerai/Sonex (suggested pilot only to fly acro), KR-2(not very
aerobatic capable)

I know everyone will say, for your mission, go build a RV. Actually,
what I want IS a RV--a 100hp RV. Why do I want a 100hp airplane?
Because I like Cessna A150, but it's just too slow. I belive with the
latest material development and design method, there should be a much
improved Cessna A150 type plane. The building cost and ownership of a
100hp RV-type plane is certainly lower than a real RV.

If no new suggestion comes up, I will probably bite the bullet to go
with a MCR100. A friend of mine is building a Cri-Cri, genious design,
so I am sure I won't go wrong with the two-seater MCR100, just a
loooong time to build. OR, I may want to be too stupid to design such
a plane myself. What's the aerodynamic relationship between aerobatic
capability and fast cruising speed?
