Default Goldberg Skylane 62 Instuction book?

I just found myself a Goldberg Skylane 62 kit. It appears to be complete minus an instruction booklet. I am pretty sure I can build it with out the book but if there is one I would love a copy. If someone out there has one that could email or mail a copy that would be wonderful!

There was no instruction book. The building instructions are part of the plans sheet.

Good to know. Thank you. I'll look at those sheets closer tonight. This kit is the oldest one I've ever scratch built.

I did get it off ebay. I just love the Goldberg kits. I've got 4 Ultimates, a Eagle, and rekit'd a tiger 2. I am looking forward to building the Skylane.
There is another kit on ebay right now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carl-Goldber...item2328714071

The Goldberg Skylane 62 was my first RC airplane, built in 1969 in my dorm room. Flew wonderfully, and was an ugly thing after a bunch of crashes and repairs. It's not at all a difficult build. Just make sure you spend the time to carve the fuselage properly. Don't let it be too boxy...you need to carve a lot at the corners to get the proper shape. Then sand smooth. The quality of the finish is determined by the sandpaper you use up!
