Greetings.
I just bought a 3A from Gary Dalleske. N13KE.
Its 20 years old and not flown since 05. I have the fuel tank out
and we will re-hose fuel and brake lines. Test the tank for leaks. Also do some changes on the instrument panel. Fuel selector will be replaced, was stiff.
The O320 may be a E1F. Prop Gov is at the front of the crank case.
Hartzel was OH with recon blades.
Here is why I write...
Builder has passed on many years ago, but I admire his work... and, I would like to learn anything and everything about him....
Brad Overholser. He worked at Planes of Fame in Chino, CA back in the 70's and 80's and much of my info comes from his friend back then, Pat Kroagh (?).
From what I have learned, two RV3's were built side by side back in '80-82.
The other was built by Rocky McDonald, who also worked for Planes of Fame.
Brad was known as a machinist. The workmanship on my 3 looks really good.
Question... does anyone out there in RV land have known of Brad, or this RV-3a? Knew of him or Rocky.. or their work at Planes of Fame in Chino?
Lastly, I am thrilled to now own this 3A. Sad to know that Brad died of Leukemia back in the early 80's. From what I see, he was quite a talented craftsman.
Can anyone out there in RV land help me with info?
Many thanks ahead.. and best for a nice Christmas...
