I GOT ONE OF THE FIRST MALONEY 125/DRAGONLADY COMBO'S BACK IN LATE 1985. ANY OF THE OLD HAMTON VA. CLUB MEMBERS SHOULD REMEMBER IT. THE ENGINE WAS HARD TO START WITHOUT AN ELECTRIC STARTER.ONCE IT WAS STARTED THOUGH, IT RAN WELL. IT WAS VERY DEPENDABLE. THE DRAGONLADY BY MODELTECH, WAS HEAVY, BUT IT FLEW WELL. IT LOOPED ROLLED AND YES IT KNIFE-EDGED THE LENGTH OF THE FIELD. I DONT KNOW IF THE ENGINE WENT THRU CHANGES THRU THE YEARS, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE ONE I HAD WAS FINE. I HAD A 15X10 ZINGER ON THE NOSE, AND IT PULLED OK. IT WAS'NT BALLISTIC BY ANY MEANS AD THE PLANE WOULD HAVE FLOWN MUCH BETTER WITH A G-23, BUT I COULD'NT PASS UP THE COMBO PRICE. NOBODY EVER HEARD OF A MALONEY OR DRAGON LADY FOR THAT MATTER, SO I WAS PRETTY MUCH ON MY OWN. IT WAS MY SECOND GASSER SO I KNEW A LITTLE ABOUT GAS ENGINES. I PROBABLY WOULD'NT BUY ANOTHER ONE WITH TODAYS ENGINES, BUT LIKE I SAID THE ONE I HAD REALLY RAN DEPENDABLE AND FUEL ECONOMY WAS PRETTY GOOD FROM WHAT I REMEMBER. I DONT KNOW WHERE THE ENGINE IS NOW, BUT I STILL HAVE THE DRAGONLADY. A WONDERUL AIRPLANE.
