Hey 50+,

I went to the Mirror meet at Floyd Bennet field with some friends back in the fifties and you could hear the Dynajets from the time you entered the parking lot. Man, were they loud. One guy had a Dynajet powered scale C/L Grumman Panther that caught fire in mid flight. Cowling in a Dynajet was not a good idea because they ran cherry-red.

I used to spend a lot of time in Newton NJ with my anunt when my mom had her frequent operations. One day we were going through Hacketstown when we happened upon a model airplane FF meet. The first high performance FF I ever saw was a Dooling .29 pylon job that went up like a rocket.
