Default At last, an LSA compliant RV-3!

Step 1: See how fast a -3 goes when cranking out 80 hp at sea level on a standard day.

Step 2: Convince Randy Lervold to sell one of these to somebody that's not building a Cubcrafters Cub:

YES YOU CAN..... Extend the wings by 18" on each end to a total of 23' This would give you a wing area of 110 sqft. and a wing load of 10. The 12 wing load is 10.4
