first kit done!!!!
I finally finished my first kit (goldberg cub).After a month and a half, and many glued fingers i have a finished plane. I would recomend this kit to anyone for a first build. The weather was beautiful on friday so I decided to maiden it, it flew like a dream.

[sm=thumbup.gif]Great Job!!! Looks beautiful. Wish I still had mine.[sm=crying.gif]
When you get the time, build the short wing. I would take both wings to the field and when the wind came up I would put on the clipped wing. Handled the wind well--would land vertically in a 15 knot headwind.

RE: first kit done!!!!
Thanks for the compliments guys! Now I wish I had built the clipped wing, rolls are very slow and its about impossible to get it to come down for landing. I plan on getting another wing set to build as the clipped wing (for flying off of land), and save the full wing to use with the floats i'm in the process of building.
P.S. And to GrnBrt I couldn't agree more on needing a pilot, it'll be in there as soon as Fed Ex drops it off.
