Here is an interesting carbon fiber home built canard aircraft Raptor
They are building the prototype and have twice weekly update videos on their progress


If you have that much to fight for, then you should be fighting. The sentiment that modern day ordinary Canadians do not need firearms for protection is pleasant but unrealistic. To discourage responsible deserving Canadians from possessing firearms for lawful self-defence and other legitimate purposes is to risk sacrificing them at the altar of political correctness."

That looks like a beautiful and capable ship. All the canards I recall seeing are small single seaters. Can't wait until the prototype is completed and she flies.

Glad to hear there are five Starships still flying.

Bill,I never took you for a member of the aviation crowd. My interest is in the blood. My dad was a fighter pilot that flew the F-100,F-101,+ the F-105 in Nam for 3 missions (100 ea). He let me me fly his personal Beech (w/him in control) but I was never a real pilot,just barely qualified as an airplane driver.Bear in mind that I was 12 years old.


Never mistake motion for action.

Randy, all four of my uncles served in the Army Air Corps in WWII, and Dad was one of those guys who would run out the front door just to watch a Hughes Air West 707 go over. I don't fly, but I love an air show!

Bill,keep your eyes open for any airshows that involve the great warbirds that are restored by the Lone Star Air Force.A lifelong buddy of mine is instrumental in their reconstruction.Doug Ratchford. You know what they say,that + a buck will get you a cup of coffee.
