Dazzler kit modification
Hey,
I want to show off my new Great Planes Dazzler. It was an easy kit to build and I could not resist making some modifications. The idea I was going for was to create the look of a 1920's era cartoon plane. Don't know if I made it their... but it is close.
The plane is a great fun, easy to build and fly. It is powered by an old OS40 la. Plenty of power for this application. I love the fact that I can take it to the field, put fuel in it and fly. No assembly required.
I would love to see how others may have modified simple kits............ and if you have any feedback on my Dazzler feel free to share.

Hi Friend,
Congratulations for you dazzler, it looks fantastic!!
I also bought a dazzler kit and some extra wood to modify it for a better 3D performace.
I'll use a saito .56 gk four strokes engine.
I'm just starting to build it, if you are interest, I can send some pictures.
Maybe another guys have done the same and can send their pictures too.
Regards!

RE: Dazzler kit modification
Can't see anything else I would do to it, looks pretty good to me. I flew the Up-Roars but I built the Dazzler for a friend to compete in fun flys with, great plane and does it all. On his I used the OS .46 LA and didn't mount it inverted but more like a 45 degree angle then built a cowl around the engine. I left the tail feathers alone because I kinda liked the look. I like what you did with yours though, sort of a Super Sportster look. The red and white look great together too!! I always liked the looks of the Dazzler better then the Up-Roar but I was killing so many fun fly planes I was scratch building the Up-Roars a lot, it's an even easier kit to build! The wheel pants you used gave it a nice touch too!!
