	I was looking through an old issue (October, 1956) of
Flying magazine, and found a full page add for a 4 place Taylor-
craft.  The add claimed that the airplane was constructed of
fiberglas fuselage panels over a steel tube frame, with fiberglas
wing sections.  It showed drawings of the airplane, and it featured
slotted wings and ailerons, conventional gear, and a 125 HP engine.
The price shown was just over $10,000.

	Does anyone know if this airplane was ever produced or 
flown?  It seems quite revolutionary for it's time.  The add
claimed that it was 'CAA certified' (Aviation Vaporware?).
