It was sponsored by Coors beer I think. If you can find a copy of the book entitled "Homebuilt Airplanes" by Wolman and Garrison you can read an extremely interesting account of the rip-off and technological faults of the original BD-5 kit. After reading that write-up, I know I wouldn't want anything to do with those planes. -- Tim Curry USENET: ucf-cs!tim ARPANET: tim.ucf-cs@rand-relay
