I can say one thing that's a huge deal. The stabilator is much higher off the ground to it's contemporary competitor, the Rans S-21. I have never like the looks of the S-21 taildragger in three point mode because the Rans horizontal stab is ankle high and looks like it will mow down weeds, grass and shrubs. The RV-15 stabilator is up out of the bush, as it should be.
