The planes I know of that try to achieve this are made of carbon composites and have tapered wings. What do you think are the chances you'd get a similar performance with Van's aluminum construction?
And no, I don't think tandem seating and 5+ hours are a good match.
I agree. Although I love a tandem bush plane, in the high and fast cross country speedsters that we fly I think a comfortable side by side seating configuration makes more sense. Fast tandems are very sexy...but just not as practical as a comfortable side by side.
