Probably the last remaining AMERICAN inovator/inventor/builder actually building something great and amazing ... something worthy of a place in the annuls of "Great American"

Here he is in 1972


I discovered Bert Rutan somewhere around 1986 while waiting for my wife in her GYNO's office, avidly reading the first copy of a magazine I ever knew existed about an industry that catered to 'grown up' (??) modelers .. KITPLANES


Family life kept me from building my own plane (I wanted to build RANS "PURSUIT", but it had too many flaws), settled on RANS "AIRAILLE", but ... well ...

Now I'm too old and fallen apart to pass a medical.

I still dream ...


a LOT.
