Yes, I remember that - I was there as well. What a treat to see it fly. I believe it was Delmar Benjamin, wasn't it? I think his version of this airplane corrected many of the dangerous aerodynamic faults of the originals. Even so, he retired it after flying it for what seemed like a kind of short period of time.
