Buzzard Bomvshell

I've a friend who's planning on using some of his winter months building a 72 inch span Buzzard Bombshell. Has anyone developed a materials list that he might use to assist in ordering?

Thanks for all assistance.

Did you get your list? I am building one from plans, and put together a list of materials. Mine is the 72" inch span.

I do regret selling mine years ago. Still do have this Brown co2 powered paper-covered peanut in the same coulours (now faded) that large one was. Good luck with your building. And the Buzzard DOES fly very well.

Thanks for your response. He developed his own list and the Bombshell now sits awaiting the arrival of spring.

I bought some plans, and have started my build. the wing is held on with a innovative method; there is a 1/8" music wire piece that goes through the fuse, and mates with two plywood plates, built into the wing. Then a few rubber bands hold down the Leading Edge. Not sure if I will do this, but we'll see..

Always wanted to build this airplane.
