RE: Beech Starship
it's a pity that the starship never made it commercially. i remember when it first came out how radial the design was, how beautiful the shape was. i remember imagining as a high school student being a millionaire (meant a lot more then than now!) and affording my very own starship. it truly looked like a bit of science fiction! i remained a rutan fan for a while, diving into the specifics of the Long EZ's and the most beautiful kitplane ever, the berkut. it's sad to see that only a handful are flying and that i will likely not see one in the air. while i think the avanti is a technical barrage, to me it doesn't have the same sense of the beauty. to "see" yours in the sky will be wonderful.
