Very nice! Thank you for the links. Yes, I heard his flying/building was done after that last accident, I tried to find him through long distance information, there are two Gilbert Davis' in or near Boise, Idaho but neither of them are the right guy.

He may not be alive anymore?

Anyone here ever speculate about building a flying wing like the one
shown on this web page: http://www.twitt.org/DavisWing.html ?

Gilbert Davis crashed his prototype and broke his back due to a bad
rubber belt which lost some teeth resulting in complete loss of power
and since then nothing that I can find has been built, not for
experimental.

I'm interested in it, a modified version.
