Bratco model airplane

The Bratco company made this model and what I believe was known as the Hexadrone. They used Big Mig startup engines and sold for under $50 a model. The models became extremely popular at or around the time that Sig MFG. was discontinuing Norvel engines and parts. Norvel for the most part was now a defunct company and therefore users of Norvel engines were now buying these ARF control line planes for their engines and parts. There was at that particular time one hobby shop on Ebay that was the only known source of parts for Norvel engines. The parts were just non existent as only a handful of online hobby shops were carrying parts. The Bratco company utilized the Big Mig startup engines which used a starter spring and also a tank mount which was also a Norvel factory item. The planes in general flew fairly well. The Skybaby had a extremely weak stab and this was always subject to breaking. The Hexadrone which was a flying wing did ok but was on the porky side. They certainly flew well compared to other 1/2A ready to fly planes. The Norvel certainly provided decent power. Super rare to me has a different definition. I've seen many and I flew this particular model myself. Ken
