OFTENTIMES, the sound a machine makes implies a certain speed. The high-pitched scream of an unmuffled dirt motorbike or a Grand Prix race car creates the illusion of traveling faster than a street machine at the same visual speed. That's why the high-pitched, though well-muffled, sound of a two-cycle engine has always seemed to me to be appropriate for maximum-performance models such as Pattern or sport aerobatics airplanes and Pylon Racers.
1937 Bowden Trophy Winner
The 1937 Wakefield International contest for free flight rubber-powered models was held in England on Sunday, August 1, 1937. The event was won by Emanuel Fillon of France. However, the American Wakefield team of Alvie Dague, Dick Bodle, Herb Fish, Frank Zaic, and Henry Struck did not come home empty-handed. The Bowden International Trophy contest for gas-powered models was won the next day by Herb Fish, flying a model designed and built by Carroll Krupp of Akron, Ohio.
