S T I T S SkyCoupe vs RV-12

[WingedFrog]

We got a S T I T S SA7D also known as SkyCoupe donated to our EAA 1114 chapter. While going through the box of documents and blue prints that came with the plane, I found the specs/performance brochure and was struck by how close these specs were from the LSA standards. The next step was to compare the SA7D, a plane introduced in 1957, with the RV-12, side by side and, oh surprise!

Sorry for the links, it looks like the server does not like the name S T I T S . I fooled it by introducing spaces here and in the post but unfortunately the links contain it and are modified by the server. Just go directly to my Blog, it's the first page.
