Actually, I believe the Avian got certificated in the U.S., but they
ran out of money before they could get any made and sold. The Air &
Space (Umbaugh) and McCulloch were the only 2 that ever made it into
production. Neither made over 100 units if I recall. I have Mac # 72.

I was thinking of the ducted prop idea.
