I was looking through an old issue (October, 1956) of Flying magazine, and found a full page add for a 4 place Taylor- craft. The add claimed that the airplane was constructed of fiberglas fuselage panels over a steel tube frame, with fiberglas wing sections. It showed drawings of the airplane, and it featured slotted wings and ailerons, conventional gear, and a 125 HP engine. The price shown was just over $10,000. Does anyone know if this airplane was ever produced or flown? It seems quite revolutionary for it's time. The add claimed that it was 'CAA certified' (Aviation Vaporware?). - Dave Pellerin uw-beaver!entropy!dataio!dbp

Yes, Taylorcraft made a few (more than 100,less than 500 I think) of the 4 place model. There was one basket case advertized in Trade-A-Plane a few issues ago. It was owned by someone who also had an Aeronca 15AC Sedan. He must be an obscure aiplane collector!
