Brodak, Cobra Short Kit

[Gary Anderson]

Hi guys,

Has anyone build this kit? Is this kit the same as the original Cobra? Does anyone have a picture of the short kit? I ordered one from Joe and was just looking for some input. I looked in search and found that this kit has been purchased bye others but couldn't find any comments after the purchase. Probably just me but would like some input. I hope the kit will look similar to Randys Cobra. What is the wing span, the length of the fuse, what changes should be made? Yes, lite is away the correct answer. Is the wing thick enough, does the stab, elevator area needed to be increased? Flap to elevator ratio? I bought this kit for my ST 46, most say this is to much engine for the plane? I been watching the OS 46 compared to most st 46's and OS 46 seems to have more power,(don't want to start a war about engines, I know a lot depends on how they're being run). I'm not sure who is putting the kit together for John but most everything I have bought from John, is worth the money, Gary

It is the original Cobra - but laser cut - John Brodak bought the rights etc off Walter Umland - Walters kits were FANTSTIC.  I think Scott Reisse (sp) built one and probably has pics somewhere on here

Pat Johnston sell short kits for many designs through his "Brothers of the Ring" website.

Just to add to what Pete said, Pat has right at 100 plans in cad I beleive, and he can cut short kits for pretty much any of them on demand,,

and Pat provides VERY Nice wood.  His laser cutting is superb also

Action Hobbies in the Vendors Corner also has a large list of short kits.

There are photos of my COBRA on the NW Flyings line web sight in the photo album. I don't have any on this new computer. A super plane and one I will make again. If the Brodak Cobra is as good as the All American kit was, IT'S good as GOLD.

Scott,...

You said that there are pictures of your Cobra on the NW Flyings line website,... do you have a web address for that site??

I tried to google "NW Flyings line" and didn't come up with anything control line related.

I'd really like to see some photos of the Cobra if anyone else has any.

Thanks.
