Default what plane fits this mission?

Mission:
-) four-seater, 1100-1400 lbs gross
-) 150 hp should be enough
-) folding wings/trailerable absolutely required
-) stol not required, faster cruise preferred

Already considered RV10, Murphy Rebel, CH801
but none mentions folding wings and all are proud of their
stol-capability but I want a (moderate) tourer.
Plans/kit/factory built all valid options.
TIA,


4 place with a gross of 1100 to 1400 lbs? 700 lbs for 4 on board plus
fuel plus airframe. A Cessna-150 has a gross of 1300-1500 lbs. Your
requirements point more to a C-172 with a gross of 2300-2500 lbs. Yes,
I know experimental aircraft are built with lighter airframes; but 1000
lbs lighter?
