Thanks Jose, That is a lot of good information there , really enjoyed the Arden .098 run man that thing can swing a Big prop for a small displacement . I have FF on my list of things to do (sometime) you need a lot of space to fly in and that much I don't have maybe something small .020 power . Hats Off to Louis Garami to his contribution .

I can remember reading about Garami being involved with an oxygen fed Dooling 60 C/L model in the '40s. Went fast.

There was a pic of him and the model from memory.

I have built his Strato Streak, the F/F model with the wing tip fins in the black and white pic here.......It's still here but unflown for a long time.

Post  jmcalata Mon Sep 14, 2015 10:11 am

Gossie you must re-flight again your Strato Streak to remember good times and be much younger.

Come on Duke, I hope you build soon the Strato kit.

I´ve a home made motorglider Tee dee .020 powered with old parts of F1A glider, you will see here.



I´ve a big project in mind, build a 1/2 A Satellito of Bill Hunter and mount Tee dee .049 or me Holland Hornet with a new head for Nelson plug that I bought to Daug Galbreath.



AC/DC music is powerful than Holland Hornet.

..

Because Garami is a typical Hungarian family name, I browsed the net and found he indeed had started to build model airplanes in Budapest in 1908 when even real size planes hardly flew yet, and he therefore was seen for his hobby as a weirdo...
http://www.brooklynskyscrapers.org/PDFfiles/FO42.pdf

I am not sure when he left Hungary but would assume it took place in WW2 times when an exodus of Hungarians moved west. Was he finally given a US citizenship? (Louis is the French equivalent of Hungarian Lajos so he may as well have immigrated then settled in the French-speaking part of Canada..)

I am proud to have one of my compatriots in the modelers hall of fame (my arbitrary nomination)

The article says he was schoolboy in 1908 when starting building the planes, so he must have been born at the turn of the 20th century. Given COX's history starting around 1945 he may have been familiar with the early COX engines.

I wish my Spanish were as good as your English...which is quite good, though...but I speak Hunglish so do not take my judgement too authentic.

That is a gorgeous plane, and interesting engine.

I wonder if that lady is the school principal (where your technology classroom experiment with the engine running-in was held) and if yes, how long she will tolerate the castor smeared on the school tables? lol!

Then, I made two elevator and make a mix in the radio to up and down both as elevaitor and turn alternate as taileron.
