Paul Plecan's Bonzo
« on: June 29, 2008, 09:56:26 PM »
I am looking for the construction article for this plane. I am a collector of old articles and I seem to be missing this one. If anybody has a copy I could get, I would appreciate it.

Keith:
I have a yellowed magazine article.  I can scan/email to you but quality might not be as good as say what the AMA Library can do for you...

Hey Keith,

This is the Bonzo Ron Lutz from Ohio built & flew at Brodaks last year.

Super looking stunter. I think he powered it with a OS 40 FP.

This looks like one for Walter Umland or Bill Sawyer to try kitting.  Especially with the side mounted engine.  DO Holliday

Doc:
NOW your talking!  I've kind of wondered why a good looking bird like this hasn't been done more often...
