Interesting footage from 1961 of a Cessna 310 "crash landing" at Addison, TX.

Ran across this little gem from the SMU Jones Film YouTube channel.

I enjoy perusing old WFAA news footage from the SMU Jones Collection on YouTube and ran across some footage of a feller flying an apparent homebuilt in 1970. I can't quite make out the N-number. Can anyone ID this aircraft? It's at the 15:59 mark (and if you want to see an interview with Frank...
