and win a Bronx cheer for being an expert of the obscure.

It's a scale model of a full size design that never got built or at least never completed and flown.

Mike Bogh can't play because I told him what I was building when he gave me some good advice on my Razzle.

Sure looks like the 'Deweyville special' that was kitted by Orline.

Well do we get an answer?? If it is the Deweyville Special then it wasn't patterned after any plane nor was it one that never got produced full size.

Art's right

Yes, it's the Deweyville Special and I built it from an old Orline kit I bought back in the 70s I think. I bought it because I thought the lines were real classy. I finally got around to building it.

Art says it wasn't patterned after any plane.

Quote from Orline's Instructions "The Deweyville Special is not a scale plane. It existed only in the minds of a few good old boys in Deweyville , Oregon. It has been redesigned as a radio controlled model by Orline R/C Aircraft Mfgs".

Now I know that doesn't say much but one could read into that, that it made it to at least the back of a bar napkin. Lots of good flying designs started that way.

I stated that parts may have been built because I was told that many years ago, maybe by the same guys who started the Oregon Big Foot legend.
