Jetco Dolphin
Steve Maines:
I just acquired a substantial lot of C/L airplanes, engines and other misc odds and ends from a local senior modeler who decided to get out of the hobby. I was happy to stumble onto his ad and bought everything. In the mix is a Jetco Dolphin that is a bit crusty but should clean up nicely. The engine is locked solid, but that's an easy fix. I'll check it out, patch the wing where necessary, flush the tank and free-up the engine. Hopefully she'll fly again.
Robert Zambelli:
Steve - the Dolphin is a great flying airplane. I built mine in the sixties and it flew beautifully with a Fox 29.
It is very similar to the Barnstormer which I had at the same time I had the Dolphin.
If memory serves me right, it was designed by Les McDonald, father of the Shark 45.
