Has anyone here built/flow/owned one of these planes?

Pretty impressive performance, 200+ mph top speed on 100 HP!!! :hairraise:

According to the site, they are at hangar 345 of Hicks (T67), just a 15 minute drive from my home. I might have to stop in and see if they have one there.
 
I found a site that talks about several finished and one that flew 4200nm XC. Talk about cramping.
 
That sort of performance isn't inheard of before. I believe the Midget Mustang advertises similar performance. Lancair 360s will do 200 kts on a 180 hp O-360 burning 10 gph.

Neat little thing! :)
 
Was that a Ed Lesher designed homebuilt? He used to teach at the University of Michigan and was a very interesting guy.
