Beautiful weather in the NW!

It's a Savannah kitplane by ICP. See http://www.skykits.com/ for details.
Some would say it's a rip-off of the Zenith CH701 STOL, while the more
enlightened would say it's an improvement. 8-)

I'm cheating with my little airplane. While slow at 80-90 mph cruise
speed, the slatted wings give lots of lift and the beauty will take off
in less than 150 feet and land in about 200.

tom: crazy, but safe


OK, What is it?

Cool airplane. I am particularly impressed by the claim that the parts are
so dimensionally accurate that no fabrication is required!

ICP uses CNC laser and punch presses to create many of the parts and holes.
I would guess only 10% of the holes need to be drilled by the assembler. In
my case, the plane was flying in 275 hours, and this was the reason I went
with ICP instead of Zenith. I'm retired and didn't want to spend the rest
of my life building the plane.

A completely unlicensed improvement. I never understood why Zenair didn't
sue the crap out of them.

I've wondered the same. Much of the fuselage is the same. Landing gear,
empenage, engine mounting, wings are all quite different, though.
