Delgado Flash NX-68Y
The second completed effort, the Flash , was actually started in 1933, one year prior to construction of the Maid , but was not finished until 1937. During the construction stage the racer was equipped with a retractable landing gear, which folded inward. The powerplant was a four-cylinder Menasco. For reasons unknown, students stopped work on this project and went to work on the Maid .
Work on the Flash resumed in September 1936, and the plane was completed the following January. The shortage of time dictated that a fixed gear be placed on the Flash if it were to be completed by the 1937 National Air Races. The little racer was painted black and white and carried license number NX-68Y and race number "49." Clarence MacArthur flew the racer in the 1937 and 1938 races but was forced out early in each event he entered. The racer was just not quick enough. Late in 1938 work was begun on a rearward folding retractable landing gear for the Flash , but it was never flown with this gear installed. During World War II, the army air corps took over the school's aviation program. After the war, Delgado stored the Flash in a remote warehouse. The Flash, along with all other Delgado fuselage shells, molds, and drawings, was destroyed when a huge fire engulfed the warehouse.

The Wright XR-1510 (later XR-1670) was an experimental engine that never worked fine.
It plagued Curtiss H-75 debuts, too.
Nice shots!
