Cleveland National Air Race Scout Plane

[NC43501]

I just got to the point on this drawing where it's worth showing the tribe. Hopefully you guys can help with this one, as there were very few pictures to work from this time (2!) and they are actually of two separate aircraft, with the same(ish) paint schemes. There were a couple of things that didn't match between the two, and where ever possible, I opted to match the older photograph. I'm attaching the drawing I have so far, as well as the two source photos. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anthony,

I just saw in the June 2012 EAA Vintage Magazine an article and pictures on someone who redid their plane to the race plane scheme. Not sure how accurate it is but it would be something to work from.

If you can't find one I will send you my copy, just let me know.

Any ideas on years when the Taylorcraft was used, I like the scheme? I tried to find the info with Google but no luck yet.

There is a photo of this plane in Chet Peek's book in flight. Unfortunatly it is from about the same angle, but it may show more of the upper wing plan. I can look it up when I get home...
