A very nice looking model. What is the span and weight, are the plans still available? Nice to see someone else still using diesel power..............John.

Nice job.


I think Brodak has a kit.

wing span 38" ish, this one weighs 25 ozs, I believe Brodak will have a kit,

John Miller drew up plans but suspect his accident has delayed production

of the kit, I will buy one myself when it is available and make an electric

setup for it. I have a second plane with a CS Oliver diesel also flies well

I have a third one on the bench awaiting batteries from HK

Having fun while I can

Here's a thread on it:
http://stunthanger.com/smf/index.php?topic=25111.0

John Miller says he scaled the "Brodak design" up a little from Steve Moon's plan... which Ultra Hobby Products still seems to list.
I built a Blue Pants as a kid. Wish I still had it. Might even learn to fly it.

Vincent: Great looking plane! Can you email me some pics to: ultrahobbyproducts.com.
I'd like to add a couple of photos to the website.

And, yes plans are available from UHP, www.ultrahobbyproducts.com.

Later, Steve
