Default Little Toot as a free flight model.

Little Jumping Bean modified with flaps
Little Satan

All fly well, but don't all perform the same. Of all of these the Jumping Bean was a pile of fun and quite aerobatic. The one I built with flaps flew great. The Satan is very aerobatic of course and zips along. The Stuntman 23, if not built overly heavy is a good stunter as far as profile models go, better than the Swordsman 18 which has less wing. I wouldn't bother with a Little Toot on C/L, but as a zippy free flight it is a pile of fun, and won't glide away either. A Pee Wee .020 or TD .010 is plenty of power for FF, forget .049's!

I've been looking for the plans that describe converting the little toot to free flight. I can't find that anywhere, but I had one too and it got taken away by a thermal. I actually got it back two years later! I'd really love to get a set of those plans and convert a Brodak kit. Or optimally, just find an old kit in a box somewhere.
