No, *really.* :D

I know. I saw the movie. George Hamilton and Evel looked a lot alike. ;)

You are right tbzep, there were four different models. The Klingberg Fling Thing, the Klingberg Rocket Wing, the Klingberg Sport Wing, and the Klingberg Wing.

I offer the following date -- September 8, 1974 -- and two words to put it all into perspective.

"Evel Knievel." :o

Maybe I should delve back into EX and build a few M3000 motors for strap-on boosters! :D

Here is some pictures and info for the Klingberg Rocket Wing. They occasionally show up on Ebay.

Thanks rkt2k1, I have a search engine set up on Ebay to alert me when one shows up. Thanks for the pictures.

Have a good one :)
