Super Burp
THE Super Burp is the latest version in the long line of "Burp" airplanes. The first "Lil' Burp" was designed in 1953 by Bill Pardue and enjoyed a considerable amount of success through the early 1960's. In 1972 Bill and I began to work on jets as a team. The first two years were a learning experience for me as Bill schooled me on every aspect of jet speed. Since that time we have shared ideas and developed what is the fastest control-line model airplane in the United States at this time. One of our original goals was to be the first to break the magic 200-mph mark with a jet speed model. This accomplishment was achieved at the 1974 Nats in Lake Charles, Louisiana with a record-breaking flight of 200.59 mph. Since that time the Super Burp has established many 200-mph-plus records and presently hold both the Senior and Open jet speed records at 204.93 mph and 211.18 mph respectively.
