In 1967, Henry Struck, flying a Howard Pete built from Dallaire plans won the first Peanut Scale competition.\u00a0 Appropriately, the trophy he won was titled The Golden Peanut.<\/p>\n

The trophy is made from wood, plastic and a real peanut painted gold.\u00a0 After almost 40 years the trophy was in pretty bad shape.\u00a0 Namely, the peanut was rotten, although the gold paint hid that until you looked closely.<\/p>\n

Vance Gilbert stepped up to restore the trophy after it was donated to the museum.\u00a0 Restoring it involved hunting for a peanut with a similar size and shape to the original (the hard part) and generally cleaning it up.<\/p>\n

Before – March 2015<\/p>\n
