OK maybe ot real ugly. But I have always thought the old PDQ kits to be rather odd looking. The Circus Prince, resurrected by Brodak, is one of the more... eccentric - though nowhere near as strange as the Lion Tamer!

Anyhow, my first airplane was a PDQ Circus Prince, built around 1962. A few years ago I spotted the Brodak booth at Toledo, and one of his kits just leaped into my hands and followed me home - finally got around to building it. The Brodak kit is a wee bit (actuallyseveral miles) better than the PDQ kit. The kit calls for capstrips full chord, but I sheeted the leading edge and cap stripped the rest. After adding the shear webs this is one bullet-proof wing! Power is a TT15. Have not run it yet but I am told they scream. I also have not flown controline in over 20 years!

Do not have any pix my original CP, but I think it had orange wings and either a black or purple fuselage, thus the update - done with Monocote.

Enjoy. Hope this is not TOO ugly for RCU!
