Title: Brodak Tomahawk
Post by: Leester on November 30, 2010, 05:44:32 PM
I had a Tomahawk (Brodak kit) several years ago until I lawn darted it doing a "Lazy 9". I bought another kit (to lazy to scratch build) because I plain loved it. I don't fly competition so was wondering what if any modifications would help  ??? ???

 Not trying to be a smart a_ _ here but I'm going to suggest using your own advice Lee. You loved the one you had as it was right? Build the new one the same, and go have fun. y1

I have one flying that was built from a pre-Brodak kit.  It flew pretty decent right off the board and still does......

Is this the one where the wing sits low in the fuselage and some have moved it up or left in the slight dihedral.??

I don't think so, Ty.  The Brodak kit (later version) is the old Veco kit (kinda sorta) first version.

I have posted mine on here, somewhere.....  Now, after some repairs, the plane is starting to get overweight.  The OS .20FP BBTU still powers it ok, but that true "Candy Apple Red" paint job has gotten heavy with having to redo it.
