Steve and Sara visit Dell Coller at his shop to learn about the build of his Turbo Prop Broussard airplane. Josh is also at the shop to weld the engine mount for the project. Dell is a good friend of ours and it was really cool to see the progress on his build.

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

@tomcoryell 4 месяца назад

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.

Hey Sara, cool looking airplane, was this shot before HSF this year or have they pulled the engine since?

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

@gezac440 4 месяца назад

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...

@65LB Месяц назад

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

@davejohnson7678 4 месяца назад

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.

@andremetayer1467 4 месяца назад

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

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.

@robertwalker2568 4 месяца назад

Awesome build

@romaricquerson6165 4 месяца назад

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 .

@tomcoryell 4 месяца назад

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!

@elliottdiedrich2123 3 месяца назад

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.

Draco will have a competiter once draco 2.0 is built.

@paule4696 4 месяца назад

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.

@arthurarmour6134 4 месяца назад

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.

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

@SteveHenry 4 месяца назад

That’s what I’ve been telling him! Dell has a very exciting and interesting life. -Sara

@thomasloper1205 4 месяца назад

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 4 месяца назад

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

@thomasloper1205 4 месяца назад

Didn’t realize you had a scale on the forklift. I thought you were just tilting it up off the tail wheel.
