Default RE: Brodak's Flite Streaks

skaliwag,

As others have answered, neither. The Peacemaker is not a scaled up or down version of the Flite streak or Flite Streak Junior.

The Peacemaker has a lower aspect ratio wing and a larger but similar tail. The construction method is similar. George used the thick sheet "V" shaped LE and overall wing construction on many of his planes.

If you really want a Peacemaker build a Peacemaker.

As Jim said, the full size Brodak Flite Streak for a PAW .15 or .19.

The FS Jr. is more sized for a PAW .09. I have had a Webra Mk-1 2.5cc and a Rivers Silver Streak 2.5cc in a Jr. and both were WAY too much weight. All it would do is fly level fast. I could have added more weight to the tail for balance to get it to loop, but I chose to switch to a lighter engine (Max-I .15).

Of course this is only one opinion. Good luck, whatever you choose.

George
