Hi Dave, look at page 3 items for sale. Bob Rush 56 had a Bronco for sale may not be same one, but he may be able to shed some light on how his was built

Hi There
I built this model it was 1 of 3 kits made by slec for colin Hammond, tony nijhus and myself. It was originally powered by 2 dle 36 engines but was a little underpowered I lost interest after colin wrote his off when an engine seized.It should break down into 7 parts for transport. It was a very benign flyer.

So, a sister ship to that now owned by Steve Holland?? Nice!

Hi Steve,I guess it was registed as over 20kg,also do you have any plans for it?
Cheers,Dave.

Hi Dave
It was well under 20kg as first built. I do have the plans somewhere but they are not what you could call comprehensive. I will sort them out for you but it could take a while.

Thanks Steve
It's 25kg now but it has had the larger dle 55s fitted,whether its had any other additions since you built I dont know,plans would be very useful but no rush.

Hi Dave
i've just been up to a mates who's building a 114" bronco from slec kit, its heavy to pick up and that's before finishing and gear fit out.

Hi Rick,
Got the plans,it would be a nice model at that scale,but a great help thanks,yes it's a heavy lump,I know steve had 35cc motors fitted it now has 55s in it,also any mods or repairs over the years can add weight although it does look pristine,anyway it's been registed now,just need to get it inspected.

Thanks,Dave.
