Bob Disharoon:
Im considering getting one from lonestar..havent flown in 30 years!..good or bad choice?...any suggestions?....wanna keep this first kit inexpensive for obvious reasons!..thnx, Bob

Bill Little:
Hi Bob,

A remake of the Goldberg Buster, sorta!  Wing constructon is a *little* different.

Good flying model as th Shoestring and Cosmic Wind were in that CG line.  Should build easily and get you back into the air!  Have an engine picked out for it??

Bob Disharoon:

Russell Shaffer:
People will give you static about the Fox, but I sure like mine.  It just keeps running better and better.  Now I probably won't be able to start it after bragging on it. 

Dennis Moritz:
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.
