With that primitive knowledge in hand, he decided that he could build a plane that would combine the advantages, of a helicopter with the speed of normal, fixed-wing aircraft. After some 20 years of tinkering, Custer completed a crude, full scale, flying model of a "Custer Channel Wing" airplane...
