Opsata of Bremerton, Wash, who learned his aviation from books. NEW YORK, July 15.—With the world thoroughly airminded, the talk now is not so much of “can’ we fly” as of “how do we fly."” Over the land inventors are sitting up nights devising unusual craft which are expected to revolutionize the aviation industry. For instance, down in San An- tonio, Tex., two inventors are work- Jing on the idea of the falling maple leaf and the rain drop. George S. Harrls and Lewis L Leonard noticed that when a maple leaf fell, it rotated slowly Whereupon they set to work on al| five winged gyro plane, calculated ™" Asks $250,000 for Her Love \ 33 never to spin or dive but to float |? down gently should its three mo- || tors fail. Three of *he wings are set on a vertical shaft above the fuselage similar to the rotating wings of the auto-gyro. Two wings, equip- ped with ailerons to maintain later- al stability, are fized and set al right angles to the fuselage. The plane's power plant consists of three two-cylinder air-cooled en- kines placed near the center of cach of the rotating wings. The inventors claim the ship will fly as’ well with onc engine as with three because their weights are bal- anced. . The shape of the rain drop was studied for the design of the fuse- lage. Up at Bremerton, Wash, a 24- year-old machinist, Monte C. Op- sata, studied aviation from books. he took a flight, and the plane crashed. Although he never had flown, Opsata, who is a machinist, believed he eould construct a better craft than the one which fell He be- gan in the basement of his home and after more than a year of spare time produced a small biplaie that has been successful in test flights. It cost less than $50) most of the parts were made ar home with a pocket knive or bought at a local hardware store. The motor and wheels were obtained out of town. The plane has a wing spread of 20 feet, a single seat, and is pow- ered by a two-cylinder 30-horse- power mogor. Opsata hand carved the propellor from a piece of Doug- las fir. ! A small aviation motor which will revolutionize the production of light engines is the dream of Russell Jamieson, race driver and auto- mottve engineer of Dayton, ©Qhio, Jamieson ‘has developed {wo small motors, one of two cylinders ‘and one of foyr, both of which are without valves, and cach having but four moving parts. One of the motors weighing but seven pounds, including a 32-inch steel propel- ler, has developed four and a half horse power. Jamieson claims for his four cly- | inder motor that it is one of the few motors lighter in pounds than the number of horse-power units it is capable of developing. motor weighs 40 pounds and is said to have developed 50 h -power at 7,200 revolutions per minute. The two-cylinder motor, attach- ed to a glider, kept the device in the air for four hours. The same motor, attached outboard to a mo- torboat, with propellor clear of the water, drove the craft at a speed | of 41.71 miles per hour. - o An Italian and his son tried moonshining and were arrested.
