Just think of Mr. Burt Rutan who started with his unsual VariViggen and you know what resulted from his approach.Mr. Heuberger designed and built at least two other experimentals. The first one was the SL-1 Doodle Bug(1954) which I would describe as conventional. Next came the Sizzler (1957) which already started to differ from contemporary designs in that is had a bulky fuselage with straight lines. At least 2 were built (the prototype N75345 of Mr. Heuberger and C-GSIM of Mr. James Sim in Canada).For a photo of the latter please see www.aircraftworlddirectory.com in the civil section and select heuberger sizzler.Whenever you locate other uniques I hope you will post again.Regards, Walter</blockquote>
