P.S. I haven't transcribed the entire taped interview but here are a few other excerpts:

Fred Weick: "Not at all. I don't know who said that and that's an absolute untruth. You can fly it on if you have to but my own preference is to fly it so it touches down very close to minimum speed just as you would a taildragger. There's no reason in the world why you shouldn't make a nice soft smooth landing at the lowest speed you can get. On the other hand, it isn't important that you do that.
