Back by popular demand... This design is no longer in our "hard copy" catalog, but because of the interest expressed by web site visitors, we have brought her back. See Web Letter 4 for more photos.
The following copy appeared in our 1962 catalog:
The MISSILE is a bundle of greased lightning compacted into a sleek hull form. The v-drive hulls are without a doubt the fastest type monoplanes available. When powered with the right power plant, the MISSILE will "take off" as if heading for outer space. When handled sensibly, this hull will still be as safe as is possible at the higher speed ranges. The flaring anti-trip chines will prevent tripping on turns, and the wide beam gives positive stability at high speed. Use her as a pleasure craft or ski boat. Whatever the use, the MISSILE is at home in the fast lane.
