People still build these (updated, safer design) and we have a couple near me in California. If the original version was adequately underpowered as originally designed and tested I understand they were safe enough.

Available in the Sears catalog? Cool design - great painting on the tail.

Ha! Now here is one I have seen.. There is an original (possibly still in airworthy condition as most are there) at the Shuttleworth Collection, Bedfordshire, England.. I think there may be one at the Science museum, London as well.. (may!) A weird, really unsafe aircraft.. You had to be a pilot of some skill to manage one of these.. As it was a kit and anyone could built and fly it, you could see bodies and crashes all over the place.. Luckily (or not) it did not sell well.. It was one of the very first of its type though.. Excellent 3-way.. Rob

I'd say ideal for keeping cool in the summer, and with a nice "canopy" during a spot of rain (well, probably more than one spot).
