When I was making the Chester Jeep 30's racer I came to this little info
And said I wonder how many people know this, so I thought I would ask.
And when I said ( The answer is on this site some where ) its in the read-me
Of the download of the plane of the Chester Jeep I posted 2 days ago and here it is;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chester Jeep Artist: John Marco

Description From Wikipedia:
The Chester Jeep aka the Chester Special #1 was an air racer built by
Art Chester for the 1932 National Air Races. The aircraft once held the
world's speed record for aircraft at 237 mph (381 km/h).

The Chester Jeep was named after "Eugene the Jeep" from the Popeye
comics of the time. Maximizing the most speed from a small engine,
Art Chester later designed the nose and cowling of the P-51 fighter
for North American Aviation.

The Jeep was a mid-wing taildragger racer using a Menasco engine.
The wings were supported with small struts. The Jeep was modified
with a new prop, spinner and less sharp angles for the 1934 National
Air Races. The aircraft's wings were removed and reinstalled for trailering
to air events. In 1947 the aircraft was retrofitted ("butchered" by some)
with an 85 hp (63 kW) engine to meet the power requirement for the
Goodyear races.

There are a few reproductions of the Chester Jeep that show up at air
shows from time to time.
There are many flying model kits made of the Chester Jeep and this is
the first time to the best Of my knowing that this plane has ever been
put into a simulator.




To Land; I have added in air brakes key only no moving parts, you need to
Be going 70 mph or under for landing, she moves well on the ground and is
Very responsive to all controls.


Key S = Air brakes down.
Key Shift + S = Air brakes up.
Control + C Cowl on and off.
Control + D Canope open and close.

Lest see how good you know your P-51 Mustang.

Question;
Who was the designer of the P-51 Mustang cowl?

If no one gets it I will give the answer is a few days.

Deutschmark

It was James H. Kindelberger who came up with the idea to built a Pursuit Fighter that would meet the RAF Fighter Command's Performance Tests, Edgar Schmued was the lead engineer in the project of building the NA-73X which was the Prototype of the P-51 Mustang. I sure am glad they built it. :mrgreen:
