Default RE: Best Flying Sport Plane??

Jazzy, I wholeheartedly agree that the GP Easy Sport is a fantastic airplane. I have two,one of which is an incarnation of two before it. Done as a tail dragger and equipped with a bomb (coke bottle) drop and done in a Navy scheme. Powered since day one, 3-15-00 with an MVVS 40 with "tuned silencer", I have just finished an engine swap for an OS 55 AX. As soon as the rain stops long enough for the field to dry I'll give it a go. The other is also a tail dragger, but I built it as a low wing by inverting the fuse and cutting in a new wing saddle and a new slot for the hstab. The gear is mounted in the wing ala the Super Sportster only much stronger. This one is powered by a ST 61. Both are exceptionally well manered and great flying planes, you can land them ssllooww or hot wheels.
150flyer mentioned the Super SkyboltI'm on my 2nd and they too are great flying planes.
The Ultra Sports and the like are also terrific planes and you guys who fly them obviously like a lot more speednothing wrong with that, I'm 72 years young and prefer my speed from my Spitfire.
One could discuss "sport planes" till the cows come home and not get full agreement on which is the best one. I better shut up! I vote for the Easy Sports! Gustof
