That Warlord is sleek! Shows about 1:20 in. Anyone know anything about that design or the designer?
Jim Wilmont is the designer/pilot. He lived in the Denver area at the time, I flew with Jim quite a bit. He was a very good pilot and really enjoyed doing the 'unusual' with his planes. The tandem gear design had it's advantages (weight) and disadvantages (ground handling). The Warlord and Warlock were very small fuselages to reduce drag and increase speed tho at the time neither seemed much faster than anything else in the air. Denver is at 5200+ feel in elevation so everything was pretty fast, needed to be to stay in the air!!!
