Brodak's Flite Streaks
 

Which of the Brodak Flite Streaks is the closest to the Original Geoge Aldrich Aeromodeller (Peace Maker) Plan version?

RE: Brodak's Flite Streaks
 

Yes. Both the Brodak Jr. Flite Streak and the Flite Streak are as George designed them. I've seen various copies of George's plans and I have his proof set of the plans for the Brodak Flite Streaks. I've also built both Brodak Flite Streak kits. The Lightening Streak is a knock off (not a criticism).

Sorry I misread your question. I don't think either is real close. I think one is smaller and the other is larger. What engine are you thinking about using?

RE: Brodak's Flite Streaks
 

Not for me... A friend in UK has asked me to get him one. He will most likely be using a PAW 15 or 19 Diesel.

Replikit (in the UK) do a Peacemaker kit - as does Hallam Models.

Hallam:

69, Bole Hill Lane,
Sheffield,
England.
S10 1 SA

Tel: 01142 665624

Replikit:

The replikit is a true Peacemaker - the Hallam Peace"keeper" has a solid l/e.

I would go with th big Flite Streak for a PAW 15 or 19. Too much engine for the little one, I think. I think Brodak kits are available in England.

Yes PS Aeroproducts import Brodak to the UK!

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.

RE: Brodak's Flite Streaks
 

Agree with Jim. If those 15 or 19 are BR or TBR versions, then definitely the 41½" Flite Streak. TBRs in particular will produce power in abundance for the task. A Flite Streak Jnr. would simply be ridiculous. If PB 15/19, still not the Flite Streak Jnr as PB diesels tend to be heavy and slow, and the Jnr hasn't much wing area or section. In that case, you'd really be much better off with a "Peacemaker". As I understand it, the original Jnr was designed to fly with '50's Fox .15 'power' or equivalent. Output of an O.S. .10LA today would cruel it, and is about perfect for either the Flite Streak Jnr or slightly smaller Mini-Peacemaker.
