Thanks.

I recall a question earlier regarding the Bronco's nose. Here are a few pictures I took earlier this summer at the factory. Perhaps it will be helpful for those planning to drill the nose to install a nose light. You can see the layers of balsa block that are then sanded to shape. Not seen is the jigs to pre-shape the layered pieces beforehand this final step of putty and sanding.

I started the build...
First i made the pitot tube, it's made of plasticard tubing and carbon rod, with a screw glued in the end..
A brass tube with a magnet glued in holds it in place.... this way it's easily removable for transportation..
The hole for the nose light is already made...
The reflector is scavenged from a flashlight, the LED is from a freewing landing light i still had...
Everything will be glued in place at the end of the build, and painted accordingly....
Hope you like it guy's!
Merry X mas to ya all !!

For those that have flown it, how critical is the COG at 85 mm. Just finishing the build and find to achieve the recommended balance I will need about 350gms/12ozs in the nose.
I am running Eflite Power 60's and 2x 5S 5000 batterys ( tot 1283 gms/45 ozs ).
I suppose what it is is what it is, not as if I can take any weight from the tail.

Did I see that right, 45oz of weight. Or is it 4.5 oz of weight. I'm running Power 32s with 5s 5000mah lipos and I have about 4oz of weight in the front. The recommended CG feels right in mine. I still might be a tad nose heavy but overall it flies very well and stable at all speeds. I have very little trim in the elevator for level flight. Just make sure that you even up the elevator with the stab when setting it up. I did the the old that looks good for the first flights and had to put a bunch of up trim in it to get it to level out. I almost ran out of trim. Checked it at home and discovered I had put down trim in the elevator by mistake. After fixing that, all is well.

Thanks for the heads up on the elevator. As for the battery's they are Nano Tech 5S 5000 at a total weight of 2 lbs 13.5 ozs and as far forward as possible. I have no idea why it's tail heavy.
Hopefully adding another 12 ozs in the nose wont make that much difference ( He says to himself with hope )
