Title: Clarence Lee still around?
Post by: Gordon Tarbell on December 30, 2012, 07:19:39 AM: I remember reading his articles in the model magazines. For many years he would modify engines for people, kind of a blue print and mild port job(PDP). I still have a NIB K&B 61RC he did years ago that one day will probably put in a plane even though it isn't a stunt type engine. Seems like he was an early version of Randy Smith(PA) or Richard Oliver/Dubb Jett (RO jett).
