Was it as bad as the Ford Pinto?

I have no Idea if they where bad or not, but they only made 15 examples, there was a very incomplete example in the back of one of the old seaplane hangars at NAS Pensacola in the late 1970's. I have no idea what happened to it. Probably scrapped. If I remember correctly it had no engine, instruments, or seats in it at the time. One of the Older Aviators told me he considered it very underpowered, and would not want to operate one from a field with a higher elevation than Pensacola's 30 feet above sea level. So that is not a ringing endorsement of the type IMO.
