I have one of his old planes and just wondered if anyone knows Eddy.
It is his own design and seems to fly better then I can fly.
Just wonder if he is still flying.

Nope. I know Eddie Van Halen. Does that count? LL~

Nope! I know Eddie Haskell >:D
Sorry Paul...there was a band wagon and I jumped on!

Here is it. I changed the AMA number with a marker.

All I know is Windy had it at one time, and it was passed on and I got it and cleaned it up. I just felt I could start flying it last year without fear. It might be my plane at Brodaks.

How about Eddy Marshall?
Am serious. He was like thirty when I was learing to drive. From El Paso, maybe. Turned into a serious biker in maybe 1976-77? Was a good guy to know, though it was hard hearing him tell me my mom was a 'babe'. She was, though. I have pictures to prove it.
We flew at the airport in Pascagoula Mississippi in maybe 1976 or so? Had a guy come over from Keesler AFB in Biloxi a few times. Bob something. Had a combat plane he called the Aye Soar. Beasley, maybe? We also flew a few times on a ball field at Keesler. Loads of fun.
Eddy was (is?) a good guy. Another of those that help out the punks. I broke his Nobler, his Sig Mustang, a Sig Akromaster... What a great guy.
And then he met me at the river for a little bass fishing with his friend Buzzsaw. All I could do was hope Buzzsaw was catching enough fish to keep him happy. Lest he slit my throat, commandeer my 67 Glastron/80 Merc, and abscond with my 72 Dodge Dart. I was impressed. And scared witless.

Well Leather might not be his real name. I just posted a picture of this plane when I first got it. I think over on SSW and he did not post, he just sent me an email. Name on the email address was eddyleather@isp.com
I think this plane is 20yrs old.

Paul I have never seen that plane before your picture. The reason I mentioned NY was Dave Merithew from Binghamton NY sold all his CL & FF planes a few years before he died three years ago and he had several of my planes from the 50's-60's. He sold it all at the GSCB swap meet.

Ed,
This plane has an airfoil thinner than a Nobler. It was originally given to the late Don Dixon by Windy almost ten years ago and we passed this plane to Paul a few years ago. I flew it a couple of times with the OS40FS that came in it and it did not like it very much. It needs a light motor and needs to be flown rather fast. The plane is built very well and appears to still have some life left in it.

Paul,
Isn't there a way to look up the AMA number through AMA? ???
Or maybe you could just ask AMA to look it up.
Just an idea.
