I think it can only be done with "2S" or Diehl wings. The RAF48 airfoil with the "2S" wing at a gross wt NTE 887# but that is only 13# below the 900# in the plans. You are correct though as a "Sport Plane" it is a challage, Probably not possible with anything larger than a 1915 cc VW for speed and gross wt reasons.
