I almost went with the Skybolt because of the quality issues I've heard about Goldberg. I decided to take a chance and order the Ultimate from Tower since I can return it if it looks like junk. I opened the box up and was completely surprised by a mostly laser cut kit with beautiful wood. I say Goldberg is right on par with SIG, atleast with the kit I have. CG seriously needs to update their manual and the information on this plane. I was expecting in another person's words "die crushed" but it's a very nice kit. Maybe it's laser cut too now but GP leads me to believe the Skybolt is die cut. And as everyone says I believe the Ultimate will be a better flyer than the Skybolt. I want to try an O.S. 120FS for this plane.
