I was looking through the EAA Airventure Museum site and came across a bit about the SA500, it discussed(written by Lou Stolp I believe) doing the initial flight testing and I was enthralled! It said they dove it to 230 MPH and would have gone faster but figured that that would be enough!
I was going to post the link to the article but it appears that they have removed the aircraft from their list! If anyone has a copy or a valid link to the write up it would be greatly appreciated and I am sure alot of you would get a kick out it.
I never really considered the aerobatic capability of the Starlet, or any other parasol for that matter but it was a real strong machine and capable of most aerobatics.
Thanks,
Chris
