Burt has built some innovative designs, but how many of them have been sold?
Not counting the plans for the Varieze, Burt's track record is pretty
abysmal. When was the last time you saw a Beech Starship? How about the
Rutan Grizzly, or the Ares T-33 conversion? I hate to say this because the
man is really a genius, but he has no idea how to build a really useful,
economically sound and commercially successful airplane.
