Old rat racer
« on: February 04, 2014, 03:32:29 PM »
Hey guys, week end before last, I attended a swap meet at Burlington, NC. I found a very nice vintage Rat Racer for sale, so I purchased it.
The plane was very well built and has a McCoy .29 BCRH rear rotor engine in it.
What intrigues me is the fact that it has AMA number 10329 on it.
The seller told me that the plane came from the Chicago area.
It would be interesting to know who the owner of the AMA 10329 number was.
Regards, Phil

It must be mid-to-late 1950's if powered by a McCoy 29.

That was my guess also.    Phil

Anyone with an AMA # that starts with 1 must be about 80 years old by now.

Yes, that's about what I was thinking.  Who ever it was, was a real craftsman.

My number starts with a 1 and I am only 70. You will get there soon enough, maybe.
