RE: Goldberg Extra 300

This kit is diecut. Had a frustrating time getting the fuse started, but once I got some clamps and rubber bands on it, it finished up well. I just ran out of hands there for awhile!

RE: Goldberg Extra 300

Man oh man! That fuse is a PITA to cut and get it to fit right. I made an (exact as I could) copy of it using a 1/4" router bit right off the original plywood, so I know my pieces are pretty close,...

RE: Goldberg Extra 300

I got two wing kits ready to assemble over the w/e. One set of ribs, I stayed with the stock cut for the leading edge and managed to cut leading edges out of 1/2" square balsa to the required angle....

RE: Goldberg Extra 300

I think someone mentioned this already...but I'll put it out there again for the builders. I see the leading edge is a custom cut piece that isn't square where it fits the ribs. I find that rather...

RE: Goldberg Extra 300

On one hand I'm really tempted to build one nearly stock using a os 61fx or similar and see how it does keeping it as light as possible. On the other end of the spectrum, I've got this Saito 150...

RE: Goldberg Extra 300

I agree with 100% with what Jeffrey had to say about the questionable quality of the kit. Right now I'm knee deep in sawdust making working patterns of every critical part in the box. The plan is...

RE: Goldberg Extra 300

I've been in the hobby for some time, but haven't been exposed to YS engines much. Recently a club member showed up at the field with a GP Ultimate/YS 115 combo, and I've been pretty impressed with...

RE: Goldberg Extra 300

I wasn't aware that these YS engines were running that much tank pressure.

Just returned from the field after doing some flight testing on the Extra-Mojo. Taking out that downthrust...

RE: Goldberg Extra 300

I'm using a Saito 150, perry pump, 20 oz tank just fwd of the CG on mine. IMO, to much engine for the airframe, but it's what I had laying around. Weight is just under 10 lbs dry.

Isn't the YS...

RE: Goldberg Extra 300

I looked over that kit tonight very carefully. Obviously it's a fairly easy kit to assemble, but it's going to be a bear to duplicate and get it to come out right, especially the wing. If nothing...

RE: Goldberg Extra 300

Moxie!? Do they still make that stuff? I remember it when I was a kid, but that was quite some time ago (1960's)

Update on the Extra-Mojo. I've flown it about a dozen times now, and it's...

RE: Goldberg Extra 300

Good Morning Cyberwolf! Yup, kinda strange indeed. But this is what happens when someone gives you a bagfull of balsa plane remnants, and it's been a long, cold winter! It took me awhile to even...

What do you get when you cross a CG Extra with a Mojo 60?

There's a story here if you're interested.....

RE: Goldberg Extra 300

Hey guys! Thanks for all the information posted on this plane. I recently was given a wrecked plane that a friend found in a foreclosed house he was cleaning out. It took awhile to ID it, but...
