I think you are correct on all counts... It was an interesting time. Can you imagine anyone even <EM>suggesting</EM> electric then?! So where does that fit in and who really had the first <EM>competitive</EM> pattern airplane---and what was it...?<BR>

Regarding Dean's belt drive--we were all also trying to be quiet along with figuring out 'turnaround' pattern. He had this hand carved wide EIGHTEEN inch prop(he called it a club, I think--HUGE in those days) on it. Was the talk of the contest that year. Von Linsowe showed up with some huge, slow thing--can't remember its name--and around then, Frac had some kind of larger, but nice flying bipe. Lots of innovation just before the switch to 2M... and then I took a ten year sabbatical.....<BR>RS<BR><BR><BR>
