My Brodak Buster is a hoot. Built up light with the very good wood in my kit. An all time fun plane. Powered by a fox 35, it should be fairly mild and forgiving. Mine turns tight and is stable. Power is a honking Tower 40 run fast. Turning a 10x4 something like 14,000 rpm. Ridiculous plane. Our fun loving top 20 flyer laughs a lot when he flies the Buster. Can't get enough of it. I hear the monokote shriek as he turns some wicked corners. He always talks about how it won't slow down, no matter what you do. I still have a Fox 35 CG Buster built thirty years ago. It turns tight and is a mild flying sport plane. I hope to do another Brodak Buster at some time. Legal in Foxberg the way yours is setup (with a Fox). If you run into a Foxberg guru they're liable to bend your mind with stories of these engines turning high revs on smaller props. A well broken in Fox 35 will turn high revs. True. Usually just before the crank goes ping and snaps. A fox 35 Buster is legal in foxberg, something to think about.

if this buster is the same as the goldberg you cant go wrong--i wouldnt put any thing more powerfull than a fox stunt on it and you will be a verry happy pilot!

I still have a goldberg buster buit in 70s.possibly the most enjoyable airplane i ever built.(the shoestring i built flew like disturbed lead).sanded it to death making the shape real pretty-monokoted with a g21 .35 with 9x6 t.f. p.p. and brass wedge tank.ran it slobering rich and would do any thing you wanted---until the last few laps when it leaned out.by the time the engine quit i would be sweating bullets hopig it wouldnt shed parts as it passed through the sound barrier.one day it did just this and left the elevator in the dust-shed both sides and then the engine quit and glided in an ever increassing dive . made a plunk noise coming to rest with nothing else broken!
it possibly may have been faster than the best of the slow rats.(durring the no ball bearing times)
hope to recover/paint/new elevator and fox .35 soon---i do miss flying this one.

a thought--this combo with a 9x7 or 8 trimed to keep revs in peak of torque curve should be exlent in fox burg---not sure what rules are?
