I'm looking for examples of "conventional" aircraft designs that use "Rutan-style" moldless composite construction.

1) I recall reading of a one-off high-wing design that crashed on the way to Oshkosh (no serious injuries, I think it was engine or fuel related), and if anyone knows the name of the design or the designer or more about that please pass it along (I >>think<< the story of the accident and getting it out of the cornfield was written up in a magazine, maybe Kitplanes. This was a long time ago).

2) IIRC, the Arnold AR-5 used the Rutan method.

Any others? Thanks.

Mark
