It's a one-off, all metal airplane from a state next to Texas with respect to its total area. :encouragement:
The company apparently never produced any other aircraft.
 
I was in doubt because the Genie looks very much like this one (which is from PA).
Main differences are mid wing (Genie) versus low wing and the u/c members are on the fuselage (Genie) and not in the wing.
I understand that the challenge was not intended as a sport aircraft in the first place

Year of first flight 1957. The registration of this single-seater was cancelled only in 2014.
She was born at a PA airfield that housed Kaiser-Fleetwings.
 
This is another view, now with (temporary) wing endplates.
The aircraft was sort of PoC for a light COIN aircraft.

N65X was the SP-1, a joint effort by Engle Flying Service and HPK Associates (Harold Hayden, Arthur Payne and Robert Kinney,hence HPK).
A planned 2-sesat version was never built.

OH please:untroubled:
