A question not far off the subject;  I was in Ft Lauderdale the first
week of April and heard a plane climbing out of the local airport. Naturally
I looked up to see what looked like a longEZ but it had twin pushers, one on
each wing. Does anyone know what it might be?

Either a Beach Star ship or a Piaggio Avanti.

Looking at the pictures it was definitely the Beach Star Ship. Thanks.

Interesting, I think the only one still Legal to fly is Scaled Composites
own chase plane. The fleet was grounded a few years ago for too many
maintenance issues. Rutan got around it (suggested it?).
I don't believe anyone else is still flying one.
