Just FYI: Eric Giles, the fellow who created Skykits Corporation (the U.S.
agent or distribution company for the ICP Savannah) appears to be
redirecting sales to another U.S. company he created called World Aircraft
that will sell a Max Tedesco design. If you go to the Skykits website:

You can see where it redirects.

A rather lengthy tale that claims to explain the origin of both the 701 and
Savannah is posted here, and presumably why Giles shifted from ICP to
Tedesco:
