Aah, thought someone would spot that. From Canada but appears to now be sold through a US company! Despite having been around for nearly 30 years, not listed in Aerofiles.

Morning David

It is indeed the Christavia Mk1. Over 1000 sets of plans sold, although from what I can gather about 100 have actually been built or registered. Originally produced by Elmwood Aviation in Canada, it seems that Aircraft Spruce and Speciality now hold the design rights



LM has control
