And it probably wasn't the planes fault, some of the crashes were just people doing dumb ####. Actually a LOT of it has to do with the airplane. It was a very efficient but also a horribly designed a/c. I can tell you many MANY reasons why not to ever fly that airplane and this is coming from the guy who still thinks that it is one of the sexiest airplanes I ever saw.
We've got time....

Sounds like this was a one off prototype but who knows, maybe there is another one flying. http://www.eaa1000.av.org/fltrpts/st50/st50.htmThat article is credited to Norman Howell. The Norman Howell I know is a fellow AEST owner and BT member, let's ask him! Glenn

It is the same Norman Howell, who is also a fellow Mooney owner. He can talk a lot more about that plane...
