VECO WARRIOR vs BRAVE

How are they different?

Litte if any difference in the fuselages.
Warrior has flaps hence greater wing area.
Warrior has a larger elevator area.
Brave was a sport/stunt trainer.

Hi John,
From memory, there doesn't seem to be much difference in the fuselages.

As in most of the old "Veco" stuff, there were at least two versions of both airplanes. The original Henry Engineering version of both had a shallow fuselage with a solid top block. Much sleeker looking than the later version which had a taller fuselage with a curved sheet top making a much deeper fuselage. The original post was correct in the difference between the two, but if you had a Brave from the later production and an early version Warrior, they would look very different. Unlike the Chief and Squaw, the wing ribs ar the same on both versions.

The older I get, the better I used to fly!

A light Warrior will do the whole pattern and more, with a Fox .19. One of the current .25's or a .21FP would be perfect. Mine (about 1970) flew with a Fox .201 (3 bolt backplate FF engine), Missle Mist, 10-3.5 Top Flite, 60' x .010" solids. I could do square vertical 8's with it, and think correct hourglasses, because when I got bored, I'd do them horizontal. Yes, it was more than a little tailheavy! Steve

Used to watch an older guy do "bow ties" with a Fox 35 powered modified Banshee. Horizontal "hourglass" with a tight loop in the middle.
