I think he's right - it's not a mistake.... it was just 30 years too soon. A modern-day C5 would likely be more powerful, faster and have better range. In fact.... isn't the G-Wiz basically a slightly scaled-up C5? It'd be interesting to see what a C5 could do with a modern brushless traction motor, and some LiPo batteries... > Not a mention of the QL - but he never seems to. Sadly, he does seem to regard the QL as a mistake. But what a mistake... it gave me hours, no, years of pleasure - and still does to this day (albeit in a much smaller scale way).
