Brodak Original Magician
« on: June 17, 2007, 03:59:55 PM »
Finally the wife took pictures of the plane.   Was out Friday evening flying the Almost ARF Oriental with Howard and John.  Ran the B-25 on the O-Magician, but, did not fly it.  The kit is the usual Brodak kit layout with good wood selection and a great manual.  I followed the instructions almost to the letter,  The finish is Brodak Blue & Red with Ultra coat White.  My comments on the Brodak White is on another post response.  Of course the power  is the Brodak 25.  One run on the ground and so far 3 in the air.  Even with the warp in the wing I need to take out, the plane flew very well.  The little B-25 did not lean out until the last couple of laps.  The flying was done on Saturday in 90+ degree temps.  Using Sig 10% fuel, 1/2 &1/2 oil.  First flights using 9-5 power point point prop.  The last flight used 10-4 power point.  Lines are .012 X 60 feet.  Wheels are some Williams Bros. Wheels I had laying around.  Don't ask about the weight as it feels very light to me.  Now to the pictures.

Hi Doc,

That is sweet!  I'm glad the B-25 has the power to fly it.  That sounds like a very good engine, and the Magician is known for being a good flyer!  (most all Jim's planes were! ;D )

Off topic: Do you usually go flying dressed like that?  If so, let me know so that I ever get to a contest you're at, I can dress appropriately!  S?P  VD~  LL~ 

You do "clean up well"! H^^

Really nice Doc; I am a big fan of Magicians. You really outdid yourself on this one. If it fly's as well as it looks it should be a great plane.

No Bill, the pictures were taken right after we got home from church.  Of course it it would help my score I might dress like this.  i remember seeing pictures of the early days of guys in suits and ties.  Makes you wonder.  And Jim this is the smaller version(original), not the Midwest kit version.  Still have plans from both kits that I built in the past.  May have to build the bigger version.  Have fun,  DOC Holliday
