Did anyone get a chance to talk to John about Brodak ARF's. I am looking for progress update, timeframes, etc.

Steve:
The first three, the Cardinal, Oriental and Baby Clown are due in at any time now.
I have just updated the Bi-Slob prototype for production and will soon do the same for the Pathfinder, P-40 and Smoothie. The P-40, by the way, is a large profile with wing-mounted gear and looks to be a real winner. Alan Brickhaus is doing an article on the Smoothie and Richard Peabody will do some work on the Pathfinder, as he has quite a bit of experience with it.
For more exact dates and information, contact Brodak's directly.

What about a modern PAMPA plane? What about a Vector or a Legacy?

SOMETHING SERIOUS!

What He said!

The next four or five years are going to be very interesting in controline stunt.

I had called Brodaks for a few items and asked about the ARF's and was told that it would be July when they arrived.

Bradly - I believe that a serious stunter will be a reality in the future. How about more suggestions? I see John on a regular basis and would be glad to pass any suggestions on to him.
Vector? Legacy? Strega? Cardinal?
Anybody with suggestions for a particular plane should e-mail me at

Well, how about SV-11? It is a very popular design on both coasts.

Another idea is to introduce another designer to the lineup. Bill Werwage's GEO-XL or Bob Hunt's Saturn come to mind.

John said at the Flyin that the first ones should come in July. A bunch of us were looking at the ARFs Thursday night and they really, really look great. He had the Bi-slob and the P-40 ARFs in the box, and the smoothie as an ARC. The first three were all ready together. I can't wait till they come!

How about an Olympic ARF????? And the Legacy!!

And how about getting them shipped internationally????

I live in New Zealand and REALLY want to get a couple of these.......anyone have any suggestions.

The boxes are too long for international air.....OR you can pay an oversized parcel rate of $300 US ......not real feasible.

I got an ARF nobler by my sister picking it up from LAX ( she is a air hostess ) but this doesnt seem doable all the time.

Would Brodaks ship direct???
