No, the 1/2A is different from the larger one. Brodak will sell the plans for either one for a reasonable price. I can supply plans for the earlier versions, as well as the full fuselaged version.

Best bet would be to call Brodak, order a set, with the pattern sheet. (Makes it really easy to cut out the parts.) At the same time you could also order any other parts you might need.

Best wishes, John MIller

I'm wondering why everything is spinning around?

John,
I am currently building a Brodak profile Pathfinder. I like the design and am interested in possibly building the full fuselage version. How much would it cost (plans + shipping) for the plans for the full fuselage version. Thank you.

John,
I am also interested in plans for the full size fuselage version.
Thanks,

Thanks for the interest in the full fuselage version of the PathFinder. I've attached a picture of the one I built in '94, and flew in Advanced at the 95 Nat's.

The plane has been referred to as the Pathfinder 40, and at times, PathFinder mk4. The mk3 is a profile version that uses the tapered wing of the mk4.

It's a large plane, marginally powered by all but the stronger .40's. Probably more suitable for a .46 or .53 sized engine.

Specs, Wing area 650 sq inches. Span, 57 5/8"

Wing construction uses a psuedo-I beam. If I built it today, I would convert to a Dtube. We found that their was some flex with the I beam.

The plans are 2 sheets, one for the plane, and a second sheet which is a pattern sheet. Price is $15.00 plus shipping. Which is usually about $4.00, rolled, priority mail.

I'm wondering why everything is spinning around?
