An original 1930 race aircraft, built for the U.S. National Air Races.
Pete, a closed course racer with a compar¬atively small 318 cubic inch 90 horsepower Wright Gypsy. Gordon Israel handled the structural design of the airframe and assembled it as well. Its success can be measured by its win¬ning five firsts and two thirds at its first out¬ing, in 1930. And the two third place finishes came in the 1,000 inch and unlimited dis¬placement classes.
The DGA-3 Pete racer, was succeeded by DGA-4 Ike and DGA-5 Mike.
Engine: Curtiss Wright Gipsy, 90 hp.
Max speed: 168 mph.
