| Robert Smith Garland, TX | I worked on these while serving in the army in the mid 60's. The "D" model was a drone that must be kept in sight because it flew just like an airplane including the ability to fly upside down. It was used for gunnery practice. Another model on the same airframe (I forgot it’s model letter) was flown by radar and could only climb or turn a small amount because on radar you’d not be able to tell if the aircraft was right side up or upside down. This model was used as a missile target. The engine was to my knowledge a McCulloch Chain Saw engine used in the logging industry. 04/13/2008 @ 07:32 [ref: 20531] |
| steve , NJ | I found a RCAT crash site deep in the woods. I dont know what type it is. Body and wings but it looks like the military took the engine. 01/04/2008 @ 14:21 [ref: 19151] |

| dale cole winston salem, NC | I was stationed @ Mcgregor Range and was the last person assigned to the RCAT division before they were turned over to the N.M. National Gaurd.This was in 1976-77 then we flew BATS till I was transferred to the 3rd Armored Cav on Fort Bliss. Looking for anyone there during this time period thanks.

| Tony Meldahl Westerville, OH | I just bought an Army national Guard Radioplane. No engine but the red painted plane itself is in great shape and looks sharp. The nose part looks sort of like a hammerhead shark nose. I think the shark mounth painted example in the Pima airmuseum is the model I have. This one I was told sunk in Lake Erie and someone dredged it up. Nice looking. Anyone interested? I'll sell or take trade in antiques or military collectables (WWII: US, UK, German, Japanese or any country WWI or earlier wars).

| Edward J. Zemaitis Harrisburg, PA | I have an OQ-engine that has never been run. Some minor parts are missing. Engine is marked slightly from handling over the years. 10/16/2006 @ 12:40 [ref: 14473] |
| Luca Mariotti Pisa, OTH | As I am planning to build a small series of Radioplane OQ-2 replicas in airworty condition, I am looking for original parts of airframe. If you have any please let me know. 08/12/2005 @ 02:15 [ref: 10975] |
| Samuel Norman Smith Orlando, FL | I am searching everywhere for a OQ-2A Radioplane or an engine (Righter p/n 0-15-1) for one. I have engineering prints for the OQ-A,B on microfilm that I obtained from the National Air and Space Museum. If anyone would like to obtain the microfilm, the title is EDM 281a, Radioplane OQ-2A,OQ-2B, Roll A, Feb 1949, USAF140. I would consider buying a 0-15-3 engine although I desire the -1. I am planning to construct a replica of the OQ-2A if I can't locate one. Can anyone out there help? 05/25/2005 @ 09:13 [ref: 10301] |
| Rex Walker , OK | I have an engine for OQ-19D could any one help the with any suggestions for getting parts and information data sheets. I would like to restore to original specs. 04/28/2005 @ 23:09 [ref: 10066] |
