Show off your Plane!

According to Wikipedia, they built ONE with retractable gear. I think they should have built more as it looks really cool.
Correct! they were going to build more, and also planned a 4 seater but then ERCO sold to Forney
Heres a real photo

It would be neat but it would take away from the goal, to create a simple aircraft that was similar to driving a car, thus steering it with the yoke on the ground, only 2 axis controls...
 
This is my '58 Skylane which is still sporting its original paint.



It's just like the one on the cover of the '58 Cessna 180 and 182 brochure.

That's super cool. I much prefer original schemes to the modern swoopy ones, and that's a good one. Hard to believe 60 year old paint still looks that nice. That thing has clearly been loved.
