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.

You've almost described the Dyke Delta. The four seats are really 3
real people. 150hp will get you flying, but you'll be happier with
180hp. And you'll have closer to 900lbs of useful load.

How bout the glastar sportsman 2+2. It'd be pretty wimpy with only
150hp though.

Mustang II ? It doesn't quite make the useful load, but it has the folding
wing option, and is a fast cruiser.

Oops, now I notice you're looking for 4 seats also, so maybe this won't
work.

Most four seaters will have a hard time getting off the ground
decently with 150 hp. When you said four seats and folding wings the
Me 108 "Taifun" came to mind. But you'll probably have to draw your
own plans if you want to build one.
