Any ideas??

"Redskin" Team Racer? Absolutly a "B" team Racer.

Nope, not a Redskin.  I seem to recall a 'B' T/R design that looked like this one = 'Jezebel', perhaps?

Definately not a "Redskin".  Have one about 75% complete.  Still trying to figureout the fuel tank and shut off set up.  Must be that person's own design.

Hi Bob,
I have a couple of albums that Paul Haley had of B-Team Racers. He passed away several years ago and I have all his Albums.
Check for the B-Team Racer you have. It looks like a SHADRACH by H.M. Bourgeois. Published in Flying Models in March 1952 page 23. Will try and post a picture.
Have plenty of pictures in the 2 albums of B-Team Racers. Don't want to sell but will be willing to share with anyone interested. You pay the shipping both ways for the albums.
Bob, we been flying at our new flying field near the Millville Airport. Teaching kids how to build and fly.
Regards
Bill Mazzoni

Shadrach By Hank Bourgeois sounds a pretty good guess, especially considering that prop, similar to the one on Hank's Jezebel.

Need to get the albums onto a CD.

[David M Johnson]

Not the model but that Alfa Guilia Ti is way cool

[Keith Renecle]

Never mind the model.............where did he get that gorgeous prop??

Gents - thanks for all the great info.
Keith - the prop appears to be hand carved.
David - the little green beauty is my 1967 ALFA GTV, one of the most interesting and fun cars I've ever owned.
Not a garage queen but an everyday driver.

When I get the control system freed up, I plan to fly the team racer - identified by some as the Shadrack.
I will not use the prop shown in the picture!

Well, the Shadrack is ready to fly.

I replaced the leadouts with music wire and the system is now free and smooth.

The shutoff on the original tank leaked air so I replaced it also.
The engine starts quite easily and runs very well but does not seem to make a lot of power. It may need more nitro than the 10% I used.

In any case, I will test fly it at Huntersville and then donate it.
