    Doesn't impress me. Howard Hughes could have designed that shit, as well as new bra for Jane Russell and paid for the whole shebang before lunch time. Then gone off to get his junk knocked around by high class hookers with William Randolph Hearst Jr.

    Engineer,designer and airplane genius Burt Rutan is a pioneer in his field. The Canard wing'd planes he designed were way ahead of their time.

    Paul was in good hands.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    We should get a Kickstarter going to have the participants of this thread design and build a plane.

    (I have some awesome ideas.)

    Paul's pretty impressive himself....without the Paul Allens out there genius' would probably be teaching 3rd year physics in colleges....Burt got to put his talents to real use
