Just thought I would share what I have been working on with my friends on the form. This is a F82 from the Brodak kit with a few modification that would allow for the surestart motors. I have a few more details to complete before it will be ready for a test flight. I plan to power it with two worked on surestart .049s.

            Robert, that is a beautiful job you did on it. I loved my F-82 Brodak kit. I powered mine with 2 Blackwidows. I needed a little tail weight to compensate for the nose projecting out. I lost mine due to a bad engine run in a wingover. I have another scheduled for a build shortly. I was going to due the same with the surestarts. Mine flew terrifically until it met its demise. I had about 60 flights on it when this happened. Mine was real fast and a lot of fun. It was capable of doing anything you put it through. I planned on redoing the gear to make it a bit beefier. The surestarts should work great and consistent. Keep in mind that you can't see the elevator when out in the circle. Its a bit painful when you don't have your handle marked and you pick it up the wrong way. Ask me how I know. Ken
