Default The Matrix, it does exist!

Page 75 of the October Model Aviation. The Goldberg Matrix is here!

It's not in it's original form though...Not a Seduction clone anymore. Looks like Lanier got that...I think the color schemes Goldberg has are much better than those Lanier schemes.

This thing went through some major changes. Bigger fuselage, bigger wing, new wing design, new tail desh, cowl, and everything else. I think it's ugly. Sort of an odd wing design.

They say it will do all the high alpha stuff like harriers, but I seriously doubt it. They say it will be 5 to 6 lbs. Doing my ARF math, I get over 6 lbs when it's all said and done. 662 square inches of wing area and 6 lbs...I doubt it will 3D well, let alone even hover with a .46. I'll be interested to hear how they end up flying though...Might be better than I think.

It does look like it will be a good flying airplane of course, but it could handle losing 2 lbs and that star on the wing.

I don't plan on buying one, but figured I'd let you guys know it's out there.
