• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Early VLJ, might be of interest

I dug this up off of my hard drive and finally got around to youtubeing it. Sadly the company and the aircraft are defunct now (though if you had enough money 002 might be flyable).

The Leopard was a very early CAD designed aircraft and a precursor to today's VLJs sadly at the time the designer (recently deceased) Ian Chichester-Miles couldn't get anyone to take the project seriously. Fast-forward 20 years and everyone is doing it.
