I had a great time learning about Dell’s new build. I will definitely be posting another update video about this in the future ☺️

Hey Thanks Sara! Great video as usual! Please keep us updated on this plane. My buddy has a Broussard and I’m sure we both will be interested to see the completed plane. I always thought a Broussard with a PT6A on it would be cool, so this is close to that.

This is an amazing build! Please keep videos of this aircraft coming. Would love to see it fly

What a great build! Thanks for posting this Sara, it's very interesting.

Hello, You maybe feel what I felt as a kid, when I saw my first "Broussard" during a show in the Air base of my region... For sure, the engine you've decided to place on will change the so rich sound from the original, that I've always in my ears, but, I've to admit that if this kind of turbine, or something like this one, was available at the time the "Broussard" was produced, that would be probably the intial choice. I'm very pleased to see your illuminated face when you talk about this incedible plane ! I'll be on alert to see the rest of your challenge ! Cheers from France

Not sure if your the one or not, but I watched a stearmen in the 90 with the same setup and was relly impressed. I flew t6 for the 6 of diamond in the 70 thru 90ies, and after a while all airshow become the same. But this one I still remember 30 years later...

Definitely want to see this updated all the way to flying!

That's some real tech. innovation, superb video. ELT sends to satellite via the 406 signal and triggers an S&R to NOAA. No more 125mhz vhf. That's why the helpers from FAA show up. That S&R happens to much.

Thanks so much to everyone involved for sharing your project! It is very interesting, and very well done!! The Garrett looks smaller and lighter than a TP6. Can't wait to see it run and fly! Congrats on a very cool project!! 8) --gary

As long as you don't have to touch it, it is also the superior power plant.

Such a amazing build! I have enjoyed your other creations in person several times, and am looking forward to seeing this one take flight.

We have another Mike Patey on our hands here. Does he have a KZread channel for his builds? I would definitely subscribe.

This is high end! What an epic project

Looks like Dell has some excellent plane building skills,.. good company to keep Steve..... I'll bet it too will be a show focal point.🤔

What an awesome build. Inspirational.

Wow! Thank you for sharing your work. Very inspiring

Oh i really do like this idea!shoud be infinitely versatile might be a similar story to the beaver if done right as i believe thetes still airframes around

This is so rad, I'd love to work on films like this.

Nice build! ⭐️ I used to know a Broussard here in Switzerland and flew with it.

That was awesome. Thanks Steve!

Didnt know he was the Yak guy. I saw him at Travis AFB when i was little so cool

Great video of a great build

Keep us posted . Looks like an interesting build for sure........And no Steve , you don't get to put that Engine in the Yee Haw !!!

How very cool. Thank you.

Another great video, Sara. Thanks for sharing.

That is crazy cool! Looking forward to seeing this in action!

That is crazy cool I cannot wait to see this thing in the air!

I would really like to see more on this build.

You’re the man Steve! Definitely need you to come back to CAP some time. Some cool stories you were sharing

That is on The High Side of Kool..... onward...... Carry On.... !!

I can wait to see the final product.

Very Cool. Thanks for sharing!

Wow, great build! That engine mount is substantially larger than the one I did. I a chromoly one to put a 3 cylinder Pontiac Firefly engine from a car into an Ultralight.

Can't wait to see this at KMAN!!!!!

I got a ride once in Dean Wilson's single engine high wing "camper." IO 540 powered, (can't recall what he called it) big enough to walk around in flight. This is almost on that scale.

Awesome build

Ha, before I opened this I said to my self that a Broussard is already a huge bush plane! Then I opened the video and guess what…….French Beaver!

Haha, I used to work for MB Quart 👍

Great project, but beware the Broussard is known to have to be centered rear for the landing, either with a mass or a personnel, then with a propulsion very slight compared to the radial engine, it will be necessary to be careful for this subject . In france we know well this problem .

wow.

Wow Great job Dell Taking it North?

Reminds me of the Pilatus Porter.... Should be a nice jump plane. But prolly to expensive for most drop zones to purchase.

Excellent stuff bro

we have the jet Waco parts in our shop as we speak getting cover.

Be careful and remember to attach the locking mechanism on the door, Boeing has recently discovered that they can come loose if not fastened in place.

Mike would build it in six months alone

Ambitious!

What CAD software do you use?

@ 9:40 angle of atc. where do I get one?

Monstre de la brousse.

What model 3d scanner is that??

Is there another way to get out of that airplane? That sliding door seems vulnerable to getting jammed shut in the case of a "hard landing" where the door frame could become misshapen. If flying single pilot it would be difficult to pre-release it in an emergency situation.

Ive seen that aircraft type flown in Morocco years ago, a good airframe, where in the world did you find it,

Was the third vertical based on actual engineering or just experience?

Great post I hope you have a couple of follow ups of this build to post in the future. And would be great to have some footage of the maiden fight and testing process, I not asking for much LOL 🙂

Incredible improvement in the powerplant. It loses its original airworthiness slips. How’s it going to be registered now.?

Or loading your dirt bikes and flying somewhere fun to ride 😊

Seems like a waste of a classic aircraft but, if he was going to try and get any practicality out of it, he should be looking into the turbine mod they do to some of the DHC2 Beavers, where they take the front of the fuse from the cockpit forward, and move the whole lot forward one seat row. The motor doesn't end up on long spindly mounts, the pilot's now out front with better visibility, and you've got an extra seat row (three more pax on the CofG), win/win I'd say.

Wow! Be careful, you’re going to make Patey jealous. This might be even cooler than Draco.

Steve, can you get the name of the 3D laser scanner?

Must have been fairly nose heavy in its original configuration.

Is Eddie solaman helping out on this project ?

A turbine Broussard. Why not? 😁 Cool project

You should remove the triple verticals and go with a single vertical tail for more weight savings.

That is one looong nose!

That can't be an accurate way to measure the weight. Some weight is on the the forklift unless you raise it to just before it wants to tilt over onto the nose.

@SteveHenry

I’m not sure I understand your comment, but it was accurate because Dell had a scale under all 3 wheels including the tail. -Sara
