Bumblebee[edit]

Was there an actual one made, this ref indicates it was a nickname: http://www.canadianflight.org/content/bowlusnelson-dragonfly , Bumblebee BB1.LanceBarber (talk) 18:12, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From the refs it looks like "Bumblebee" was the name of the prototype and the productiion model was called the "Dragonfly". - Ahunt (talk) 22:04, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Righter or Ryder Engines[edit]

One ref sites the O-45 engine, see: http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/app1/oq-14.html and also http://home.comcast.net/~aeroengine/Righter.html , for info on the O-45 for large model aircraft and drones. But NASM calls the engine a Ryder engine with similar HP, http://www.nasm.si.edu/collections/artifact.cfm?id=A19731120000 . There is Ryder engine for sport a/c but too modern. I think NASM has a typo in their long description. However, the few sites I check on the O-45 Righter are for large models with no refs to the Nelson a/c, except for the original source. More research is need.LanceBarber (talk) 20:15, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
