Looking good, Dave! Saw the Dynavert at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum many years ago. Impressive machine for its time.

I think, of all of the VTOL designs coming out ot the '60s, the CL-84 demonstrated the most potential. When many were struggling with just getting off the ground under control, the CL-84 was demonstrating SAR, carrier operations, gun platfrom uses among many. It was well designed, kept simple and intuitive for pilots to fly, and demonstrated many of the features we didn't see until the V-22. Unfortunately, we couldn't get anybody to buy it, INCLUDING the Canadian government! It's a real shame, even more than the Avro Arrow, because unlike the Arrow, the basic requirement for an aircraft like this didn't disappear.
