Wassit? I dunno? Do you know?

A very kind, senior, gentleman showed up at the field the other day with this little speedster, all covered with dirt, dust, and old castor. Long story made short, he decided it would be safer in my possesion than his grand kids. After couple hours of clean up, I uncovered this beauty.. My question,, does anyone recognize it? He had no recall of what or where it came from,, too many years ago..

I am a retread, - I did C/L in my youth and did not know what I was doing then other then having fun. And not much has changed.

by any act, error, or omission, I have, intentionally or
unintentionally, displayed any breedist, disciplinist, sexist, racist,
culturalist, nationalist, regionalist, localist, ageist, lookist, ableist,
sizeist, speciesist, intellectualist, socioeconomicist, ethnocentrist,
phallocentrist, heteropatriarchalist, or other violation of the rules of
political correctness, known or unknown, I am not sorry and I encourage you
to get over it

Looks like some of Hal Debolts ideas.

It's a DeBolt "Speedster" 1/2-A speed plane. I have the kit in my basement. I'm on for a few minutes on a friend's computer. Mine was whacked by an unfriendly web site - no access. 'be back after a few more hours/days of fighting these stupid spyware things and other crap that fills up my machine... Uncharitable thoughts!

Actually when Harold designed and marketed it, I think there were rumors around about trying to have several different classes of Team Racing. Never happened, but you should have seen what I put on paper to be powered by a Dooling 61.

Serge,

Get Zone Alarm Pro! It works wonders and keeps a lot of nasty stuff out. If anything gets in you can track it back where it came from too!

Serge,
Thank you so much! I had a hunch it was a Debolt but not sure.
I'll thank you in person when next we meet.

Who is your IP ? Several of them offer a free service to protect you from spyware and PoPs. RR does a pretty good job for me.

RR is Super!!

When we moved here, I made certain that RR served this area. We would not have otherwise bought this home !! But you still need ZoneAlarm!

Hi!
EVERYONE needs Zone Alarm in their computer!

You can load a version for free at the ZA website or pay for it and lose the advertisements.

That and a good anti-virus program will save you a lot of headaches and I if you use your 'puter for business, a bunch of money.

Since the man would like to see it last as long as possible have you thought about donating it to AMA for display at the museuum?
