not yet 200mph, performances are for Rotax 912.

You can't, to day, see fastest 80HP two seater. You don't realy get a lot
more speed with 100HP (only 7% more).
VNE is 199mph....

LH-10 Ellipse. Might have to wait a few years, but I know I want one!

You bet !

A magnificent example of vapor technology ;-)
Unobtanium wings with Gossamer skin on helium-cell Futurium foam,
Not-Yet-Invented engine and No-Drag01 airfoil, the lot...

I saw the mockup at the Blois Show (France) last September.
IMHO, a very good add-on to MS Flight Simulator.

Not sure about the plane yet, but you'll notice on their website that
they no longer tout their " in-development " engine. They now list the
Jabiru 2200 as their powerplant.
