What make is little red? Power plant speed?

Its an old Globe Swift, could have a 160hp motor.  With 125hp motor its faster than a CT, today many have 200hp, 180hp or 160hp.

Here's a nother that I've flown that smokes a CT with far less hp.

I like the gull wings! Looks built for speed. Nice!

We need to compare LSA planes! Maybe the 120 knot thing makes it a mute point.

After flying a CT for 11 years I admire all 2-seaters that are faster than 120kts.

Until a gear-up take-off a year ago I would sometimes fly in my friends Europa with a 914 that could do 155kts and climb to 16k as fast as I climb to 10k.

The 120kt limitation makes all LSA the same unless they are slower or cheaters.
