25 Years of Pattern Evolution Article
I found this interesting article by Wayne Apolstolico in Model Builder April 92. Thought you might like it.

Yeah, here's my old Tornado Nylon prop (9x4.7), and I had a yellow prop as well (for a Cox Babe Bee)!
Just kidding.
Great article with catching enthusiasm. The flight speeds mentioned are a bit too enthusiastic, though. A 7" pitch prop at 16000 rpm has no thrust yet at 105 mph. The 12x12 prop on a long-stroke should give around 100 mph, and a 1960s pattern ship flew around 60 mph. Doesn't derogate the article, though.

Been out but getting back in; and I had a Bootlegger clocked on the gun bya local PD friend, (Riverdale, Illinois at the time) out of a split S at 108 mph andin the fly-by at over 90 easily. Rossi .61, Rossi pipe, Rev-Up 11 X 7 1/4 balanced,Rhom-Air retracts, and 15% nitro. And I think the P*'s, Tipo's, and Curares were faster.
