My ole drinking and harley frame buddy worked ai Vought when they did the retreration. He looked it over pretty close and was really impressed. They shared a runway with both the Navy and the Texas Air Guard and we would park across the highway and watch the various aircraft taking off right over our heads. They also had a great surplus and salvage yard that I visited on Saturdays. Bought my fires professional drafting table and it was big. Had rollers at both ends so you could do a continuous wing or fuselage drawing. I did dragster chassis drawing plus other things until I learned autocad. Regret getting rid of it to this day as it was very therapeutic. It is muy understanding the Vought (later LTV) building was torn down. A real place of history. Just glad I got to see what I did.
I really need to wear more powerful readers and check my spelling. Sitting here with a 27" Hi Def monitor and still screw it up! I blame it on being a dumbass!
That would seem to be a Lot of Prop for just 80HP.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Quite a piece of engineering.
