[QUOTE=Alan]
They stole that name from the Australian aircraft from WW2

The Ausie airplane looks a lot like a T-6/NA-50
I think a 50 year lapse in naming gets it well past the copyright/theft stage.
At least Rutans design looks kind of like a Boomerang!
Yep its a stick that Kuhn is referring to which I believe is the evolutionary beginning of a boomerang!
See how we came full circle? Just like a boomerang that works!

If copyrighted, 50 years is no where close, but it probably wasn't.
