I used to chat with Chip and Bill Rutan back when I ran CART autocross events here in CT. I don't believe they're any relation to Burt the aircraft guru. Then again, maybe it just never came up in conversation. Regardless, great guys.

Oh, I'm sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour? .
