Larry Linville (Maj. Frank Burns on TV's M*A*S*H)was an aeronautical engineering student before turning to acting. I remember seeing an interview long ago in TV Guide that had a photo of him sitting in the cockpit of a wood glider he was building (and apparently flew).

I remembered a photo of him and his wife sitting in a composite flying wing that he designed and they built. Looking for it in the archives I found it in the Aug '79 issue page 11. I wonder if he ever flew it and how it did fly.
