MD3 Rider is noticed in the article about this year Sun'n Fun airshow:

Making its american debut at the show was the Italian-built MD3 Rider. The all-metal, semi-monocoque, high-wing aircraft is built by Flyitalia and distributed by Space Coast Aviastion Services Inc., from Sharpes, Fla. One of the LSA's options is that it can come with folding wings and tail for simpler storage.

Wing span measures 29 feet, 6 inches. It sports a Rotax 912S under the cowl and has a fuel consumption of approximately 3,5 gallons per hour..

Price runs from $85,000 to $130,000.

The $130,000. model has electric trim, a glass cockpit, wheel fairing - basically anything that could be an option is on the aircraft," said Brad Gutman, vice president of Space Coats Aviation Services.

"Delivery time is about 75 days from the time you place the order."

Gutman noted that the MD3 Rider generated a lot of interest at the show because it is an all-metal aircraft.

So many of the other imports are composite," he said.
