Well here is a welcome curveball -

Over the last two weeks, I've visited the Van's factory for a tour (they didn't offer a demo flight) and Jay Pratt's impressive facility to learn about the RV8, this development requires a complete re-thinking of the matter.
Carbon fiber wing on a Glasair, with joggled glued skins a la Thunder Mustang would be a game changer.
Either way, glad to see this, EAB needs competition and innovation.
