The "Pond Racer" comes to mind... but my utmost respect to Burt. He truly is
one of the greats, and I dare say, the best that's currently working in the

My information on the Pond Racer is that the aerodynamic design was
fine, it was to cooling system for the engines that didn't work. I
also understand that Rutan did not have a hand in the cooling system.
I could be wrong but the guy I talked with said that the cooling
system was simply inadaquate for the power being produced.
