Olympia 463 Hot Ship? 8 June 1962 I converted to the Olympia 463 which was a fairly new machine for the club as far as I can remember. It was a 35 minute flight and I enjoyed something that had a bit more penetration than the Oly 2. As It happens this was the only flight I ever had in this machine as someone broke it a week or two later in a competition. So I was back to an Oly 2 again next time out.
