: : wildfire was a r-2800 conversion but never flew..

The aircraft was detailed in a racer issue of Air Classics a few years ago that profiled Dreadnaught, tsunami and Wildfire... The story I heard was that it was completly unflyable and never really did get off the ground, though it was tried. It went back into the hangar in Mojave, and may have been reduced back to parts by this time. I believe it simply did not work. It never left Mojave for Chino as far as I know.
