Been following you folks since you first showed the ST-L prototype. I’m so excited to see the Speedster take flight! You chose a beautiful color for this one, and the Verner sounds fantastic! Fly safe and keep the videos coming! Any plans for float compatibility for the Speedster? It would make a GORGEOUS low wing float plane
It isn't something I have considered, but the vertical stabilizer is massive and the landing gear attach points are incredibly robust, so anything is possible. Float operations aren't allowed here in Colorado, so it'll take an enterprising builder to try it out. I'd happily help design the attachment points.
Are there any plans for a different cowling for non-radials or are we going to give everything a classic look and just pretend annular radiators like the Jumo 211s made a sudden comeback?
We will have other cowlings in the works. I think Lycomings will be popular along with the higher-horse Rotaxes. We'll develop these cowls when demand requires the effort. For now we need to focus on an optional hard top.
AWESOME! So happy to see this design IN MOTION! See you in OSHKOSH in a couple week!
Awesome! Congratulations, this is a great step forward! Really looking forward to hearing how the real world performance figures land.
Bravo.perfect.go ahead
Sounds great, tracks solid, looks like a Little Red Barchetta from a better vanished time. Can't ask for much more.
Hope it flies before Osh! Looking forward to seeing it complete in person!
