The cockpit could be pressurized to an altitude of 10,000 or 26,000 ft (3,000 or 8,000 m) during flight. [116] The cabin needed a heavy-duty cooling system, as cruising at Mach 3.2 would heat the aircraft's external surface well beyond 500 °F (260 °C) [117] and the inside of the windshield

[5] This first of the nickel-aluminum alloys was discovered after a series of experiments [6] during World War I, deliberately setting out to find a better material for the manufacture of pistons for aircraft engines.
The aircraft is supplied by Aircraft Spruce & Specialty of Corona, California in the form of plans and a materials kit for amateur construction. [ 1 ] The DR-107 was designed as a low-cost one design aircraft for competition and sport basic to advanced aerobatics, including International Aerobatic Club Class One competitions.
