FF the rans is great and surely on my list for one day in the future.

Morph is getting a little warmer ( actually Morph may even know what it is). Been a year under construction and hopefully in the next 2 months it will be done. No its not a savannah...........but it is all aluminium, side by side, dual tanks, 912s, woodcomp prop, grs ballistic chute, Icom A210, electric trim and flaps, dual pedals and hydraulic disck brakes, STOL.

I think Rudix has it, so similar to a Savanah, it has to be a 701.. or the new 705 :?
