Hee-hee, snicker, snicker. "Powered by the Famous DickeyBird Engine." I hope you guys take that somewhat arrogant pronouncement with the proper tongue-in-cheekness!

My ol' flying buddies dared me to come up with a logo to put on my modified TeeDee equipped airplanes as a joke. At about that time, I'd been restoring a '57 Mercury Mark 22 outboard motor to go on Brian & I's fishin' boat. It had this very cool logo on the side of the engine cover that said "Powered by the Famous Hurricane Engine" and I instantly took a likin' to it. One thing led to another, a little CAD graphics work & voila! A logo was born. I put a couple on a plane or 2 as a joke & the reaction was so amazing I've stuck with them ever since.

Thanks for linking to that old thread MJD. The original TeeDee mod thread was longer & more informative. Dunno what happened to it. The linked thread brought back a ton of great memories! Except for the prole posts. Seemed like such a nice guy but he volunteered to get a special 1/2A tee shirt group deal for us, took our money & we never saw him again. He must have gotten himself into some kind of bind & needed the money & then was too embarrassed to come back on here. Sad.
