Status: offline 		I would like to see some pictures and stories of some of the old Carl Goldberg 1/2A control-liners. These were around a bit before I could get my hands on any of them, and now I see they are back being made with Brodak Mfg. and I want one!

However, I am not totally familiar with all of them and Brodak does not show pictures of any of them (picture comming soon excuse).

I did have one of the Goldberg models. It was the Little Toot biplane. Everyone loves a bipe!

Sorry no pictures. I used the aluminum silver mettalic Aerogloss dope to finish it. Boy I do wish I had taken at least one picture.

Pennvalley may still have the kit for sale:

Mine flew well but was no stunter. Large loops and wingovers. I didn't try inverted with that one.

Sure looked great in the air!

P.S. They appear from time to time on $bay. There are two there right now. Both look like new kits.

Status: offline 		Yep, Penn Valley still has one at 34 bucks I see. I swiped the pic while I was there. Brodak is more appealing with the laser cut and lower price if it comes with all the same hardware and decals as the kit. They dont say, its all generic description and price for the old Golberg kits. I would have to write or call them to find out the scoop on that.

I helped fly a Little Toot of my buddies once. He had the .020 PeeWee on his and he used something like 15-20 foot lines...anyways smaller than usual. The thing zipped pretty good.

Those Scientific kits are good ones too for having a bunch of 1/2A size C/L. Those log fuses are still being used in a line of current kits I'll have to find it...
Scientific seemed to be more keen on what types of planes they decided to kit...seems they had the nicer designs but not cut like a Goldberg.

Only one I could fly all the maneuvers I knew at the time without fear of the plane not making the maneuver. Never did any outside maneuvers but I'm sure if I had known how to it would have done them.

Status: offline 		The Lil Whizard was a great trainer. Lil Jumping Bean had a built up wing, profile fuse and tail group, and was a very good flyer. Lil Satan for speed and stunts, nice simple build, built up wing on her.

Scientific models had one I built called the Zipper. It was a built up fuse, and a plastic top cover for it, built up low wing, trike gear. Looked like a pattern plane from that era, another good flyer. Still have th plans for it, and have a add from that era showing most of their kits from that time, will try to get it posted here.
