RE: DeBolt Speed Plane
Hi Orv,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I had a little setback in my health. Everything seems to be back on track now. I received the Hornet and it truly is a peach! I cannot locate plans for the Dmeco Special, but I did locate plans for Ernie Babcock's "Jughaid". If you recall he won the N.Y.Mirrors flying fair AND the Phila. Inquirers flying circus and went home with TWO Ercoupes (the real ones, not models!) I saw his winning flight in Phila. So far I have turned the fuselage and acquired the wood and aluminum and Ignition to build it - Darn coil, condensor, and high tension lead cost more ($42.50) than I originally paid for my first Hornet ($35.)!!! I am enclosing the plans for it and a model called the "Screamliner" designed by a buddy of mine (who has long passed on!) I had built a Mac 60 and 29 powered version of it and won a few trophies. Maybe will give you some incentive! The DeBolt Speedwagon had a curved fuselage and flew clockwise - I remember seeing one chase "Pappy" around the circle afler a bad hand launch!
Keep in touch,
Phil Heller
