The plans for the Anderson and Diamond Zipper and the cowl are on the way. Be very careful with the Zipper plans, they are very old, and a few people have used them. Carl Goldberg was a friend. Whenever I went through Chicago, if I didn't stop to see him, when he found out, I heard about it. When I asked him about the Zipper, and how John Pond called it Gas Bird, he had no Idea, how Pond came to call it that. Let me know when you get them; put my mind at rest. Sending some pictures of what were doing here. Hope you get them all, not too good with stuff.
Col. Bowdon's Comet. Circa 1934 or 1935. I got a 3 view of it. It was about 40 in. span 300 sq., 0r so. I scaled it up to 1260, for a Super Tigre 56, for antique class. It also came as a cabin job.. same wing and stab. .Fus. and rudder different. I built both. Took the shoulder wing to Fort Wayne for a contest. They would not let me fly it, as you know antique has to weigh at least 5 lb. The plane only weighs 4 lb. Nice flying plane . Chuck
