• 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.

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.

A planned 2-sesat version was never built.
