Aviation Forum / General / Ultralight / August 2005Heath Baby Bullet
Does anyone here know of any surviving example(s), airworthy or not, of the 1929 Heath Baby Bullet? Juan >Does anyone here know of any surviving example(s), airworthy or not, of the >1929 Heath Baby Bullet? Juan, the January 2005 FAA Registration Database shows one Heath Baby Bullet, but it's got a 1994 manufacture date. N6784. Same database shows 351 aircraft manufactured in 1929, only one Heath (Super Parasol). Guy I met a few years back is building one: http://www.sportaviation.org/magazine/2004_spring/building.pdf The author says that the 1994 one I mention above is the only one he knew about. The article includes his email address; you might contact him. You might also contact Chet Peak, the author of the book, "The Heath Story."

This one is Rod Gehrlein's, apparently the best built example of the aircraft. Smart thinking to use the same N number as the original, anyone searching the database would find _his_ Baby Bullet. :) > Guy I met a few years back is building one: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > about. > The article includes his email address; you might contact him. I did, he answered already. > You might also contact Chet Peak, the author of the book, "The Heath > Story." Got an email? Thank you.

Looks like the his publisher is Wind Canyon Books (760)-344-5545), books@windcanyon.com (http://www.windcanyonbooks.com). See also: http://www.aviation-heritage.com/eZine/Ed_Heath.htm Ron Wanttaja |
