• ... that the Airborne Avenger was a failure due to market oversaturation?

• Age and length OK. AGF on plagiarism. I'm having trouble verifying that the topic exists; the only non-WP/mirror hits I'm getting on Google for "Airborne Avenger" convern a 1977 Atari game. Also, the source may not be reliable. This website (scroll to bottom) suggests the author Andre Cliche runs Cybair Publishing, which would make it a self-published source.

• That is why I added the eminently reliable Jane's All The World's Aircraft. See Gbooks here: [1]. Also, as Cliche is in Quebec and Cybair Publishing is apparently in Vermont, it appears he merely works for them, instead of owning the company. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Sport Flying also gives kudos to both Cliche and Cybair as ultralight experts. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:50, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
• Would this perhaps be a better hook? Referenced to Jane's. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 00:13, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
• ALT1: ... that the Airborne Avenger could be purchased for home assembly or ready to fly?

With a little work we could probably have made the OH work, but I like ALT1 better. I think main page visitors will enjoy learning you can build your own airplane; I know I just did. Thanks for providing the Gbooks link; it all checks out. Article and hook are good to go. Lagrange613 01:20, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
