Back in the early 80s I flew one. I was a Flight Instructor and this guy set up 'shop' at the airport trying to sell them.

The model was a hummingbird or something, twin engine.

It did have a 'conventional' tail, or I would not have flown it, not into that weight shift thing for steering....

Aileron control was um, er, ponderous..... sort of a wing warping thing.

Anyway I flew it, twice, had an engine failure on both flights............. it would NOT fly on one engine.

I'm done................ I'll take an airplane built by people that build airplanes, thank you very much!
