In addition to aviation, I dabble in electronics. One of the companies I sometimes buy parts from is a small outfit in Colorado called Sparkfun Electronics. They posted a story earlier this month about a visit that a few of their engineers made to Scaled Composites, and I thought everyone here might be interested in reading it. There are a number of very interesting pictures as well.
Here's the link (http://www.sparkfun.com/news/700).
There are a couple of photos in the story of an experimental called the Skyjacker. Here's a link (http://books.google.com/books?id=tQAAAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA82&dq=Skyjacker%20aircraft&pg=PA82#v=onepage&q=Skyjacker%20aircraft&f=false) to an April 1978 Popular Science article on the aircraft.
Enjoy!
