| pfinn | Brodak Pathfinder | Parked | 30-Dec-19 08:08 |  | | Views : 2125 | | I left the silk unpainted because I prefer the "Open" look. I used only enough Dope to fill in the Silk to save weight. I may someday add some subtle graphics. I haven't flown it yet because, truthfully, I'm afraid I'll become too dizzy. Crunchy Crunchy Balsa Bits Time! |

| pfinn | Brodak Pathfinder | Build | 30-Dec-19 07:56 |  | | Views : 2219 | | It was suggested on the plans to lighten the rear of the aircraft by creating open structure on the stabilizer and rear half of the fuselage. So I did! Hanging while the Dope dries. |
| pfinn | Brodak Pathfinder | Build | 30-Dec-19 07:54 |  | | Views : 2026 | | I decided to try using Dope and Silk to cover this one. |

| pfinn | Brodak Pathfinder | Build | 30-Dec-19 07:52 |  | | Views : 2093 | | Selecting which engine. .049 or .074. I opted for the .074 because of the lower rpm and the ability to swing a larger diameter propeller. I wanted to slow the aircraft down yet create enough thrust to be able to go vertical and keep the lines tight. Plus...the dizziness factor!! |
