Title: morane saulnier bb replica roll out 12 april 2016
Post by: ALBATROS1234 on April 28, 2016, 04:02:18 PM

bumped into this doing research on another plane.enjoy

http://www.letecke-muzeum-metodeje-vlacha.cz/roll-out-morane-bb/

unfortunately it has a radial engine and no spinner which may be due to cooling needs. i am just speculating of course but why else would they not put the spinner so dominant on the bb?

I couldn't agree more: a kit would be awesome. If you find the link, could you post it? I do have quite nice plans of the outside but sadly no idea of the interior...
Thank you!
Borsos

Hi, Borsos, good to have you with the BB-fans!! Here's the video: http://earlyaero.com/morane-bb-replica-video/
Maybe there's even more, if you do a google-search with "video letecke morane-saulnier"?!

I just saw that there IS more!

And now it's in the lap of the gods and the hands of Sir Peter...

AWESOME!!! Exactly what I'm looking for. I always liked the BB but definitely fell in love with her when I saw the OAHC replic
(http://www.warbirdsite.com/Morane.jpg)
I even wrote them a mail to beg for some interior shots, but I sadly never got an answer. But this one is built almoust in my neighborhood - I'll have to visit Czeck Republik soon again.
You are right, if WNW would release a kit, that's in the hands of Sir Peter. But hmmm... scratch building... now, with these informations... simply awesome :) :) :) :)
You made my day, guys!  :D

Thanks for posting this, Scott.  I've been mulling over kit bashing a couple Morane Saulnier N's to make one of these.  Maybe this will finally motivate me to get that project started.
Cheers,
Bud

yeah thanks for the build links. been liking the bb for some time.some years back i posted that i was looking for plans and old gregory j came to the rescue with scanned plans he had. i later bought the book he had scanned from and that has been my main ref except for knic knacs here and there. i wonder if bashing 2 type "n" moranes would work...hmmm.i will have to check that out. i do have a vacuform of a bb from a rare company called eastern star but alas its not in the one true scale.
