Thanks. How about the Cozy MK4?

I believe the Express is still in production. http://www.compairllc.com
I'm not sure how the cost compares to the RV-10.
It looks like the -10 drove the Lancair ES to mothballs. They say they will still make a kit for you, but they're not actively selling them.
Yes , Bob and there are few things that will have you more alert/nervous than doing the first flight in an experimental airplane that you and a friend have built, especially if it has a 2 stroke non aviation standard type engine. Worked out ok, though.
I believe the Sling 4 meets those requirements...
Dave,
Sorry I'm coming late to this discussion. Here is a list of all the kits I know about that seat 4 or 5 and cruise at 150kts or more:
AeroCad AeroCanard (4 models)
Auriga Designs Aerocat SRX
Bede Aircraft BD-4B / 4C
Lancair: ES / IV / Evolution
Ravin 500 RG
Team Tango Foxtrot 4
Van's RV-10
Velocity SE / XL
(There may be newer companies that I don't know about. I last updated my list in 2011.)
Some of these companies may not be around anymore. The companies with the largest installed-base of flying 4-person aircraft are Lancair, Van's, and Velocity (in that order.) In terms of the number of kits sold per year, the ranking is Van's, Lancair, and Velocity.
Hope this helps!
