RE: Difference between Goldberg Falcon 56 and Falcon III?
It looks like I might be getting a Falcon III from an old friend who is never gonna build it. One of my flying buddies is still flying an original Falcon 56 that he framed up when his son and I were just kids. (that makes it at least 30 years old now, and still flying great too!) I don't think he would ever part with it cause it flys so good, and because of it's sentimental value. I have also enjoyed flying it as it's such a pleasure to fly, and not so demanding.
I'd like to ask from those of you that have built the Mk III version, what changes would you make, or improve upon to make the plane better?
Simark- you indicated that you'd build it lighter, and increase the control surfaces. My friend rebuilt the wing half of his Dad's 56, after a mishap, and he increased the size of the ailerons. He also used a servo for each aileron to add flaperon capability. Which controls would you make larger?
He flies his with an OS .40, which is what I'd also be using. Any thoughts?
