It is as from the plans. The servo connects to a bellcrank that drives a rod to the rudder then there is a connectin rod that drives another bellcrank for the pull pu for the tailwheel

Ok, checking my options.
I have a DLE-30 NIB as well as a 56cc engine. Trying to decide if I want to buy a kit.
Thanks!!

Buy the kit ! It's an enjoyable build, as are all the Sig Craftsmen Series kits.

You said that due to the CG, the DLE 30 is not a good engine. Does this mean the plane will be tail heavy with this engine? Does the DLE 55 overpower the plane?

If you go to youtube or look in earlier posts search for morrisey bravo maiden. You will under superglenn1966 see the maiden of my DLE55 powered bravo. This is the perfect engine. When assembled my cg came out perfect woth no weight added. Bear in mind you do not need to fly full throttle. My typical day was 100% power for takeoff and then about 1/4 to 1/2 throttle to fly.

Is the Morrisey pretty easy to fly? I'm getting back into the hobby after several years of not flying, and I will be starting out with a trainer and Big Stik. I've had the Morrisey kit for years, but never finished building it.

Hello guys I just picked up a morrisey bravo this evening from my neighbor he has had it hanging in his hanger for about 10 years or so he said he has been taking it down every so often to start and run it .. well it is my first 25% aircraft I have been flying for aproxx 6-8 years electric, nitro and soon to be gas as this plane has a gas engine in it with a 22 10-6 prop anything I should watch for or be aware of before trying to fly it will be replacing the flight rx batteries and installing a dsm spectrum rx then get it setup on my 9503 plan on running it with the cowl off for the first tank on the ground to make sure engine stays running still need to clean it up and check over all the controls and engine after I get the cowl off not even sure what engine it has at this point just rolled it home an hour ago good deal gave him a $100.00 and a aerobird challenger I had he said he just wants to see it fly and that he would never be able to himself so I need to be successful at getting it going so he can see it fly around our acerage hear at home

Sounds like you might have a 50cc engine to turn that prop.C/G should be good but you may want to check that plus all your connections, hinges etc..I'm looking forward to getting at mine but I still have a couple of projects to finish up..good luck with that ,,give us some pics....

WOW tonight I got home early enough to have a few minutes free time I pulled the cowling and the wing removed the old channel 11 dual conversion fm receiver and old battery pack got to look over the engine to determine what it has for power found out it is a Zenoah G62PU hope it runs I want to replace the fuel lines, oil it up good and replace the spark plug get the ar6200 and new receiver pack installed then I will try to start and run a tank thru it before putting the cowl and wing back on ... i'm getting pretty excited to hear it run it has a Bennett muffler engine turns over pretty well . the neighbor who I purchased it from asked when I might be ready to give it a shot I told him at least a week or two with all the other irons in the fire and time contraints

Great thread! Nice planes guys!
I built one of these many years ago. Painted it just like the box and it had a Zenoah on it,
it was the smaller engine but it flew just like a trainer.
I sold it to a club member and he flew the fire out of it too.

I have been looking at the AMR website for the new Bravo. Still not on the website. I can't wait to see it. I have been bitten by the building bug again and am seriously contemplating a Meister P-47 for my next project. I suspect it will be a lengthy build due to my travels but am looking forward to the challenge. You guys have a great day.

I think I just got home from Texas with Glenns Bravo from this build page...Its had some rough times but still flyable. Needs some TLC but for now im just planning on flying her. Can you tell me anything about it? When did you sell it and where?
