CARMAN, MAN. (CP) — Inventor Bob Diemert says his Defender is the air- handedly negate the Soviet Union's arms superiority if it were given the chance. “What we have here is the perfect answer to the Soviet conventional superiority over in Eur- ope,” Diemert said in an interview here, about 50 ween southwest of Winnipe; “The P Defender i is cheap,” he said. “It’s easy to fly. It's virtually maintenance- free. And it’s almost impos- sible to shoot down.” But he’s having a hard plane to anyone, despite it's low cost of $25,000. plane which could single- time selling the idea or the * A sort of Model T of the air, the Defender is specif- ically. designed to combat test flight a couple of months ago and he was left without a scratch. The the er arms superiority the Soviets commend over NATO forced in Europe. But his idea has been met with skepticism and indifference in Canada, so he plans to sell his plane to the U.S. Air Force, which he siad is “very inter- ested.” SLOW BUT STURDY Diemert admitted the Defender is ugly, unwield- ly and slow. However, he said its saving grace is that it is sturdy. “ Diemert found out how sturdy it was when his first prototype crashed during a Defender only needed minor repairs, he said. He has since rebuilt the plane, with a few improve- ments, and his defender II should be rady within the next few months. The new plane incorpor- ates the basic features of the original but adds two booms and a dual tail to increase air stability. It will also have a completely new wing design which Diemert said will be con- sidered a No takers for the Defender Diemert said the plane is- designed to drop napalm onan enemy tank and burn out its tracks.
