Good guess Ron.....seems likely.

Search on ebay for item number : 4533523478 Anyone know the name of
the "famous designer" refered to? The performance claims seem
unrealistic at best. I doubt even the short wing version will reach
237 mph.....unless in a full power straight down dive. Just my
opinion.


The seller says:

"What is being offered for sale he A completely new MANUFACTURING concept in
aircraft design whose prototype set the Oshkosh air show on its ear in 1987."

I looked through the Oshkosh '87 coverage in SPORT AVIATION and KITPLANES. No
mention of this type of aircraft.

The seller also says:

"Formerly known as the ?Jaeger? when first introduced in 1987. "

I searched the EAA CD set for the name. Other than *people* named Jaeger, and
the old "Der Jaeger" biplane, it didn't come up with any new fantastic airplanes
under that name.

So....hmmm, pusher airplane with the pilot in a pod, outlandish performance
claims, production stopped by lawsuits. That "famous designer" must be Jim
Bede.... :-)
