I really was not wondering, but think how much more interesting life could be if you were a green alien. You could live and fly for free in places like Roswell.
Back to straight wings. they pretty much dropped out of the pattern scene by the early 60s after the Taurus and Orion type planes became the front runners. As I said earlier, I will continue to build other than straight wings simply because of esthetics.
As for the Cassutt I helped in the construction of two of them back in the early 60s. I also found out what a accelerated stall felt like at close to 200mph.
