[rollei_list] Re: OT-Model Aircraft Engines



Allen,
Yes, it was model airplanes that got me interested in aviation,or vice versa, in the 1930's. After 50 years in aerospace engineering, I retired, only to be called back 
as a full time contract engineer on the new 787 Dreamliner.

Somewhere in the attic lies a Fox 35. At one time I also owned a Bantam 19, converted from ignition to glow plug and several 049s, I don't remember the makes. The only distinction I attained during this time was to have come in dead last in a category of the 1953 Cleveland Press/Coca Cola Indoor Air Meet. Exactly none of my model aircraft survived because every single one of them, sooner or later, crashed hard.
After several years of serious modelry, I suddenly lost all interest in the mid 1950s, to which I attribute hormones (I was a teenager then). It was fun, though, and I developed an encyclopedic knowledge of pre-1955 aircraft (since then, I didn't much care).

I haven't been an active modeler since the late 1960's but among the old engines I have are: 

Dennymite
McCoy 60 and 49 as well as 049 glow and diesel
Holland 065
AC Gilbert 074
Building and flying model planes led to photography as I wanted to record each plane before the inevitable crash. Eventually my skills improved to the point where the planes simply wore out.

I'm a bit younger than you (only a wee bit) so I was
from the glow-plug era but also from the Diesel era.

So, what I have left (oldies)include a:

K&B 19 (a Torpedo)
McCoy .049 (Diesel)
ED 2.46 (Diesel
Allbon Dart 0.50 (Diesel)

and then lots of big motors from the 70s:

.40 K&B
.60 Enyas
.60 Foxes
.90 Webra

P.s.  The Olson should be Ohlsson as in Ohlsson &
Rice.

Somewhere I have squirreled away a few, among which
are:

Bunch Tiger Aero
Bantam 19
Olson  60
Torpedo
Brown 29
Atom 097
Elf Twin

All are ignition engines.
