RE: DeBolt Speed Plane
Further progress in my quest to build the oldies from the 40 and 50's. The Jughaid with the Hornet 60 was finally maidened - flew very well but not up to todays speeds (naturally!) Had to build a wing lock dolly as it kept jumping the original pin dolly. As I recall, Babacock Senior hand launched for Junior at the Philadelphia meet. The Super Cycke in the HellHammer is a problem - vibrates like crazy! may switch to my old McCoy 49. The Yellow Perky took high speed at the Napa Mini speed Bash in may at 97.685 mph - not bad for a 60 year old design with a 40 year old engine! The red Perky hopefully will shoot for over 100mph!
