Re: Succesor to the Navajo, Chieftain, Metro

woomera...you are right it did go into commercial production.....my sister in law in Burt Rutans personal secretary.....I have flown several of the E-Z,s(managed to get a little stick time in the starship also) and have been invited to several of the "launchs" in the Mohave.....called the sis-in law to ask if in fact it was because of its looks(the A/C in question)....seems that there is a lot more to it..."looks" by the sounds of it is/was only a small part of the problem.

Burt is an amazing bloke,and the comments about his A/C can not be overstated.His organization has to be seen to be believed.Aviation is lucky to have a person of this calibre in its ranks............nui pakeha
