Built by the students and instructors of the Delgado Trades School, New Orleans, Louisiana. The engine suffered from overheating which kept performance lacking. There was as well the "Delgado Flash" racer built, also not very sucessful in competition, having the same well used engine. The depression caused a lack of funds. The school is still there, however now a college, with the industrial trades long gone. As a teen in the mid fifties, when I would hear a round engine start, I would ride the few blocks on my bike to see what I could see. I did see on two occasions Pipers fly out after rebuilding, one from school property the other from the median of Marconi Drive.
