Were the rods originally chromed?<br />I also need information and especially parts drawings for The Aircraft Products of America Tailwheel Drwg # 695 which I think might have been used on the Curtiss Robin also. Our 12W also has Aircraft Products 6.5 x 10 wheels with cable operated brakes. We just bought the project and have a long long way to go.<br />Thanks, Darrel Starr, NC411W, 12W-2015Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691095951721643135.post-11174934725434725412016-04-11T23:45:48.672-05:002016-04-11T23:45:48.672-05:00After doing more research, I have found that Red J...After doing more research, I have found that Red Jackson did indeed fly with Freddie Lund. In the winter of 1929 - 30, Jackson, Lund, and LeRoy McGregor formed a flying circus stunt team and became known as the "three flying fools". Lund died in Oct 1931, a few months before Jackson was killed.Clarine "Skipp" Andresennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691095951721643135.post-27364741637536707652016-03-24T10:15:48.564-05:002016-03-24T10:15:48.564-05:00Fantastic is putting it lightly!

There is a 45 hp Salmson in there that was slated to go in the Curtiss junior but it didn't want to start and as the aircraft was in Tennessee being finished it was decided to put in a more modern engine for reliability and ease of maintenance...:-( The Junior was normally built with the Zalsky Engine but three were made with Salmsons. All is not lost, I am trying to get interest in building a mock up of the first "Knight Twister of 1932 that flew with a Salmson...that way we would have an attractive place to hang the Salmson as well as generate interest in getting it going and who knows, a real replica of the Knight Twister might get some interest. As for the mock up, we need a little plane to take to paraded and events and the knight twister fits the biil, small and short, a midget biplane with only a 15' upper wingspan and a cool looking little plane. If the board does not go for it, I might build it myself as team vehicles has a real need for the aircraft. alsumrall2001@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691095951721643135.post-33774104436008828252012-04-07T20:44:32.995-05:002012-04-07T20:44:32.995-05:00Great pix.
