    Default 7ss vs 7 Speedster differences

    Saw on Facebook that there was a partially built 7 Speedster for sale. I would like a Super Sport, but I’m wondering what the differences are? And, if it can be converted to a Super Sport. Thanks.

    They clip a bay of the wing for the speedster, add a bunch of fairings and have the airfoil struts and gear. The 7 wing is going to be a better all around wing unless you want aerobatics.

    Really? Didn't the SS7 speedster just come available in Aug after that airframe option was announced at Airventure 2017? I would think that that option would just now be available for delivery let alone partially built. That's fast.

    You can modify your kit to become a speedster.

    So, if I understand this. The biggest differences is the clipped wings. So, if it has regular Super Sport wings and then having the rest of airplane “Speedster” that won’t effect the characteristics that it’ll fly like a Super sport, right?

    The speedster appears to have no dihedral which would be hard to change.I'm curious to why the difference and if anyone has flown with both options good or bad or indifferent?
