I would love to but you did not say which airport you flew it out of.

I don't know where you can fly it in the USA.
There are world wide distributors, but maybe none in the USA... There
it would have to be built as a kit/experimental I think. Check out:

I'd like to see what the 4 seat version can do too.

What country are you flying in?

Also, nice numbers, but are wings filled with helium?

Min speed: * * *47 kt
Cruise speed: *159 kt
Vne: * * * * * * 173 kt

Climb ratio: 1750 ft/min

Max. takeoff weight: *1080 lbs
Empty weight: * * * * *573 lbs

Engine: ROTAX 912, 912 S or 914, Jabiru

Besides the _very_ light weight and very slippery design, the airplane
uses a variable-pitch prop and double-slotted flaps to achieve those
numbers. That is one sexy little airplane.

Yes, it makes a mockery of the US sport plane limitations.

Not a mockery it just doesn't qualify under the LSA rules.

Then may I suggest those rules are too restrictive? Why have an upper
speed limit when you are already limited on power? The power, Vso and
MAUW alone should be enough. IMHO if better design can give both the
desired low stall speed and high speed perf. it should be encouraged,
not prevented by restrictive legislation. I can't help wonder if one
purpose of that legislation is to protect established, but inferior,
designs.
