Joey
Your Dad sent me some pictures I took for a magazine back in the seventies. It was the first piped B job you probably flew. The picture got me into trouble the first time my first wife saw it and again now trying to explain the story of the model “female type” to Bernie. The picture did make it into the magazine, I wonder why?

Willis , I can remember every thing about that B SHIPand all the fun we had flying it, this was the best of the B SPEED SHIPS.
   When we took it over to the school parking area for the first flight and as soon as we started the ST.29 it came on pipe and would every time we would fly it.

"G"MAN!......THANKS FOR THE E MAIL ON THIS POST!...INDEED A LOVELY YOUNG LADY!
Interesting how many covers on model airplane publications..showed lovely young lady's. However it just wasn't modelmags...
Even the old Boeing Company used pretty young stewardesssisisisissss' posing in bathing suits in Dash 80 and 707s advertizements.
Geeee...today this would never sell and would get soooooooomany folks in trouble..at home AND ON THE JOB!
Still just the same.....models rule...all of um'

     Joey;

        Man, this is gettin interesting. By "DOLLY" I am assuming you mean the undercarriage left behind after a successful take-off. Or am I to ASSUME otherwise because of the placement of the word "SHE"? This can't be happening, this is just to easy, so many assumptions so little time. Nice pictures regardless of the outcome of this thread. How much heavier is it now Joey?

G  man back in the day my dad built these planes with negative washout in the tips durring the rebuild i sanded all that old school stuff out so the wt. is close to the same i guess i dont have my scale i gave it to my dad years ago for his free flight planes.there were some areas that were just about see through hence the glass job over the whole ship.this model has seen a lot of differant motors first a side exhauste st 29 then a rear exhauste ops29 then a x29 and now back to the side st 29.it has a few nats trophys one nats Billy Hughes was starting it for me at the end of the day one of them 5 min to 5 flights and there were mere seconds left to start it when the battery lead fell off and he jambed it in the starter and it fired up. we had been fighting with this thing all day not getting a run.this one seemed no differant it was the last att. so i got in the pylon with it blurbing around very rich there are 3 laps requried before the timing starts and on the third lap it must of sucked up the perfect size chunk of dirt and she pipe up for the 6 laps of timing then the dirt went through and back to blurbing rich. that was a very lucky flight but it also gave the morris/ mathison team the points to win the nass hi point trophy for 1989.the motor was a x 29 that glen dye had put together the week before the nats. thanks glenn and thanks billy hughes for all the help and memories over the years. 

Negative wash out might be old school but I haven’t personally seen any thing to prove it wrong. Just Joey setting all kinds of records with out it . Clark y at the root and 1º negative at the tip, people use to pick up our Goodyear's and tell us do you know your wing is warped? Our planes flew level Most others looked like they flew nose high too me, especially the speed planes. Just my take on it.

I would think you would be to young too remember something that happened that long ago. After the fourth hit the engine rolled out the bottom of the pan. John still doesn’t like to talk about it.
