  • Bravo wing

    inordered Plans from RB and a parts from Avipro to start my 4 place. I did specify that I wanted to build the latest Bravo version. When I started to unpack parts the counts did not match the plans, upon unrolling sheet 7 the full size airfoil the airfoil did not match the plan. In a panic I emailed Mark at Avipro, to his credit before I ever left the hangar we exchanged 2 emails and a phone call ( very happy with customer service) but there is still a dilemma, it appears the plans that are being sold for the 4 place are for the "alpha" and according to Mark Bravo drawings are just Mark ups of the patrol? I'm trying to get hold of Bob for his assistance ( phone is going to fax for some reason) but are there any other builders that have built the bravo wing that can share some insight?

    My understanding is that the B drawings from Bob are not available yet. I believe jaredyates mentioned in another post that January 2017 was the estimated timeframe for the new drawings from Bob?

    If you do talk to Bob, please post what he has to say here.

      I emailed Maria a couple of days ago and any plans ordered through the site are "A" model plans currently. The "B" plans are not available yet for a couple of months. They will post on the randbaircraft website when they are available. Sounds like you might have the "B" kit already but not the "A" plans

        I got hold of Mr Barrows last night and he confirmed what I had already been told by Mark at Avipro that I have Bravo parts and Alpha drawings. Though bravo plans are in the works Mr Barrows explained that he was waiting on more feedback from Mark on the prototype before committing it to paper. Avipro is producing the Bravo as a quick build from the marked up prototype drawing. We ended the conversation that he will be assisting me and that I would have to standby until he can produce a drawing for the parts I have. He said it would take at least a month to get the drawings I need to get started. I'm a bit disappointed that I need to wait a month to get started, but happy that Mark and Mr Barrows are being helpful.

          It sounds like you have some parts already? I looked at my plans all of 5-6 times while I built my QB kit, although there are some key points where you need them! But depending on what parts you have, you might not need to wait for plans?
