nasa_steve Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 i'can't see it being at weston unless tony has already got the CAA exemption as that can take some time to sort out none the less very impressive tony steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Nijhuis Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 No... the aim is Cosford but there's still another 50min of test flying to do and then the finishing to do Just changed the props from 23x8 to 22x10 menz and fitting inlet trumpets so I'm hoping for a little more performance and takeoff speed........Took nine attempts at the Hastings club strip before she lifted for the first flight and that only happend when the wind picked up to 10 knotts. Aiming for Friday this week to finish the hour of test flying.Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Whiting Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 There is something about the 'Bronco' that appeals to me. After viewing the one at Duxford I placed on my must build list. I think it will have to be a this coming winter project.I must say Tony, your model looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Nijhuis Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Another three flights today (friday) and the model is get ting better and better. I changed the props on the first flight this morning from 23x8 to 22x10 and boy what a difference.The model needs about 20 deg of flap and 50m run before she will rotate....an absolute peach to fly with no vices what so ever. Took some video today so I'll get David Ashby to post it on the home page next weekWith luck the test flying should be complete by early next week and then hope is to have her ready for Cosford Thanks for all your kind comment and support ....... Its very much appreciatedHappy DaysTony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
