Fancy Pants by Brodak
« on: January 26, 2014, 03:11:59 AM »
Thinking this will be my next build.  First CL with built up fuse.

Anybody have any stories or advice or photos of their Fancy Pants?

 Here's a few pics of Glen Petersen's from our club in Minneapolis. It's covered with Monokote and flies quite well with a stock LA.25. Keep yours light and straight and you'll have a fun sport/stunt flier.

Hi David,

The Fancy Pants was my son Aaron's first built up stunter.  He did very good in Classic Advanced at several contests with it.  It was a popular kit when it was first introduced.  Very good flyer!

I had a Brodak Fancy Pants several years ago.  Crashed badly when the two piece pushrod came unsoldered.   They are hard to build light, and really are not much better fliers than the Ringmaster S1, IMO.   Maybe the kit wood was heavy on mine.......   I personally would not spend time to build another one.

Kaz Minato's son flew one of those at a VSC several years ago.  Did rather well with it, too.  (I don't know if it was from the Brodak kit or not.)
