This should be titled Ryson St-100 Cloudster. Yes it was T Claude Ryan, but he had set up the Ryson company to design and build the ST-100 and other aircraft!! - [1]Petebutt (talk) 03:48, 17 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have moved this back - will you please start talking to people and gaining consensus before you move anymore articles. This aircraft was designed and built by Ryan before the company was set up and the common name in the main refs (Soaring) is Ryan and not Ryson. Ryson was the company intended to produce it, but production was never started. There is also a good indication that if production had ever been commenced that the intention was to market the aircraft as the Ryan ST-100 Cloudster, even though it was to be manufactured by Ryson (Ryan and son) to make use of Ryan's famous and respected name. - Ahunt (talk) 12:34, 17 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
As per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft consensus I have moved this to Ryson ST-100 Cloudster. - Ahunt (talk) 13:05, 18 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Flight in 1977 gives "Ladislavo Pazmany" a partial credit for the design. GraemeLeggett (talk) 22:25, 17 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Interesting, the Soaring ref gives the sole designer as Ryan. Not sure how we reconcile those two, both pretty reliable sources, though neither infallible. - Ahunt (talk) 00:07, 18 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
I have added some words on this and the ref, see what you think. - Ahunt (talk) 14:01, 18 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
