The split-level sundeck and sprawling deck space of the Argos is large enough to accommodate a splashing party of 50. While the Sportsman is small as planes go, it is big on performance. It carries two adults plus 300 pounds of cargo with a top cruising speed of 186 mph. It can travel 600 miles in four hours with room to spare, according to Glasair, the manufacturer. The firm has sold more than 3,000 of the Sportsman four-seater kits.
