RE: Goldberg Cub
bduffle
Thanks for the input on this kit. It sounds like you really enjoyed the build. I havn't started on this project as of yet. I bought it at a swap meet last weekend and upon opening the box, I found the instruction booklet missing. I called Goldberg on Mon. and rec'd a replacement on Wed., great sevice. However the replacement was a copy instead of a printing and the quality of the photos is very poor. I havn't looked at the hareware pac yet, actually I have't even taken the rubber bands of off the wood yet. I think my kit is an older kit as the booklet makes ref. to not haveing to use a 1/4 ply spacer as the instructions indicate as the kit now has a nylon engine mount. Well my has a alum. mount. I don't see how this will be a problem.
I friend which is a master builder suggested to cver with 21st Century fabric. He calims once you use the fabric you won't want to use film again. We will see.
This is only my second kit, the first being a Goldberg Tiger 60. I bought this kit for a winter project but I don't know when I will get to it as I just bought anothe house and in the middle of don't some redecorating before we move and of course have to go to Fla. right after Xmas.
I know how you feel about flying your own creation after having so much of you into it, I felt the same way about my Tiger. However the first time I dumped it didin't hurt as much as I thought it would. lol. The Tiger is my second plane as I just soloed this past summer. the Tiger still lives though.
So...have flown the Cub yet?
Thanks for your input...Gary
