Default what plane fits this mission?

Mission:
-) four-seater, 1100-1400 lbs gross
-) 150 hp should be enough
-) folding wings/trailerable absolutely required
-) stol not required, faster cruise preferred

Already considered RV10, Murphy Rebel, CH801
but none mentions folding wings and all are proud of their
stol-capability but I want a (moderate) tourer.
Plans/kit/factory built all valid options.
TIA,

Thank you Richard, the BD4 had escaped my eagle's eye and does seem to
fit the mission. As for the RV10, does it really have folding wings?

I don't know of anything that will fit your goals; but I hope that you meant
1100-1400KG. Otherwise, I am confitent that nothing will fit.

I assume you really meant 1100 to 1400 lbs useful load? I don't see how you
can fit 4 people, any baggage or realistic fuel in something with an empty
weight of well under 400 to 700 lbs!

-) 150 hp should be enough
-) folding wings/trailerable absolutely required
-) stol not required, faster cruise preferred


Pretty demanding competing requirements.

4 place with a gross of 1100 to 1400 lbs? 700 lbs for 4 on board plus
fuel plus airframe. A Cessna-150 has a gross of 1300-1500 lbs. Your
requirements point more to a C-172 with a gross of 2300-2500 lbs. Yes,
I know experimental aircraft are built with lighter airframes; but 1000
lbs lighter?

You've almost described the Dyke Delta. The four seats are really 3
real people. 150hp will get you flying, but you'll be happier with
180hp. And you'll have closer to 900lbs of useful load.
