My entry for the Light Plane Challenge.

Weighing less than 1500 lbs when fully loaded, the Lacit is an extremely lightweight plane. Easy to transport and with STOL capability, it is marketed to businesses as a scout and observation plane, while also being promoted to those who fly for a hobby. It is fast and agile enough to provide a few thrills, or can be flown in stable flight with ease. Fuel capacity is low, but because of the high speed and efficient engine, this is more than capable of flying from Yeager to Wright.
