Bede BD-5B
Few airplanes have fired the imagination of sport pilots like the build-it-at-home-from-a-kit BD-5. The designer, Jim Bede, announced that the airplane would deliver tremendous performance at a minimal cost in money to purchase and operate, and time and space to build. Bede's enthusiasm for the airplane led him to market it prematurely with a fatal flaw: the lack of a suitable engine. The ultimate failure of the original BD-5 concept should not obscure the original and innovative aspects of the design.
By 1970, Bede (pronounced 'bee-dee') had earned a reputation for designing and flying innovative, high-performance aircraft. Factories produced more than 1,700 examples of his BD-1 (production designation AA-1), the first light aircraft mass-produced using bonded (glued) metal construction. Soon the BD-2 followed with the ambitious design goal to fly non-stop around the world without refueling. Bede never made the flight but the project stirred considerable interest among designers and pilots. Much more successful was the kitplane BD-4, which he designed so that builders constructed it using a patented "panel-rib" process. Bede sold about 600 BD-4 kits in part because the aircraft could accommodate four people.
Bede began concentrating on

I've each set goals. Advanced ratings, new experiences (gliders, helicopters, balloons, skydiving, seaplanes, airplane type ratings, international flying)-as well makeover avocations requiring specific goals that could be setting and attained (marathons, climax climbing, long-distance bicycle trips, etc.-you either attain them or boss around don't-but maintain trying!).
I've been awake to succeed in those goals, but in mint condition ratings maintain been harder to comprehend by. I need Airfreight ratings bid Gyrocopter ratings (though I HAVE flown both types).

Massey Air Museum wishes to thank Daniel Lance for donating the "replica" Bellanca 14-13 Cruisair (registered N42DJ 1993 LANCE AERO LA421), which belonged to his father, DORRANCE B. LANCE, Alloway Airport (NJ02), Bridgeport, NJ.
We transported the fuselage and tail back to Massey on April 28th, 2016 after having dismantled it the previous month and we will return for the wings shortly. This is aninteresting aircraft, it is registered as Experimental and although the engine is a 3.5 liter Ford V6 conversion (water cooled), the wings and tail appear to be stock Bellanca as does much of the fuselage. The tail endplates appear to be the large ones used on the initial 1946 model with a single upper & lower wire brace of the triple tail. Both the front and rear windows are enlarged with a consequent reduction of the fuselageframe between them. The tube and fabric fuselage and wood wing construction seems to be identical to stock Bellanca.
As part of our "mission" the Massey Air Museum would like to feature the history and aircraft of our region, both Maryland and Delaware. Bellanca Aircraft, is an important part of Delaware aviation history and we are very happy to have this example aircraft, albeit not strictly Bellanca, it is representative. It will be on display at Massey
