What do you see as the benefits of the 15 over the CC?

Did you notice it has a stabilator.
Not sure how well that will work out mounted low with a short fuselage and flap downwash. Helio gets away with it but they fly with the tail very high almost above the wing.
High wing Short deep chord stabilator did not work out well for the Cardinal.
I’d like to see it with inboard slots or something to make the stabilator stall progressive instead of the whole surface at once.
I used to fly a Flight Design CTSW LSA. High wing with low stabilator. With full flaps the stabilator would stall when throttle was pulled back. Well above stall speed but full flaps on approach the stick would suddenly flop back with no pressure to the stop and it would pitch down sharply. If in the landing flare this was a problem. Forward CG it was more pronounced. The wing was not stalled and still making down pitching moment with lift so it was more violent than a normal stall break.
Maybe will be fine but thats why you build prototypes first. Testing...

A friend has an RV-12 with the Rotax 912, and every time he shuts it down, it sounds like the crankshaft broke and the engine seized.
