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.... :-) Ron Wanttaja |
