Development and the production :
The prototype was finished of styropor and balsa. Kevin Newton and Radovan Plch have tested the qualities of the model and it is great. The model is now in production. 

There are different versions available and also three different fuses.:
- The same fuse as for Superior with X-tail or with one-piece V-tail
- The new 2 piece V-tail fuse is brand new with new solutions :
I.   much better nose cone (there are not problems with breaking of the nose as with w.r. fuse)
II.  perfect seating of the 2-piece v-tail: 8mm Carbon tube and 2 x steel wire 2,5mm - It is very good for rough landings in F3F
III. recommendation: 
     for F3F - fuse with removable nose cone and 2-piece v-tail
     for F3B - cabin fuse with 1-piece v-tail or crossing tail
- All fuselages are made of hybrid Carbon/Kevlar cloth. Glass fuselage is also available.
- All bolts, keys, control horns, brass ends for pushrods and the wiring connector for fuse/wing are standard equipment for all models.
- All spars are made of UMS Carbon fibre (high modular Carbon) without any extra cost!

3-piece wing. The leading edge is ellipsed. The flaps and ailerons are bottom hinged that makes better aerodynamics because we don't need big servo covers.

Kevin Newton is one of the test-pilots and some pictures and writing is on his site: www.knewt.com 
Latest news is that Kevin won the UK F3F League in 2002 by the largest amount in many years using the Brio prototype.

Success of Brio:
