The Brodak Fancy Pants is a great first built up fuselage kit. Good flyer and an easy build.

Fox 35 or LA 25. I would probably go with the LA since it doesn't take as much fuel, and tank space is at a premium. I do believe we got a 4 oz. tank in ours, but that is close for the pattern with the Fox 35. Anything in that range will work. The LA 25 seems to be a real friendly engine, aqnd would be plenty for the Fancy Pants.
