This is really odd. It doesn't sound like a Goldberg product
Not from my experience with the CG EP Mirage 550 or the Lightning Bug . The balsa was cheap and weak. And the shipping price for pre-cut balsa was OUTRAGEOUS ! So I never bought another CG plane again.
8 oz of nose weight is horrible for any plane.
Let me tell you all the things that make this thing a P.O.S.! First I had to drill out the wheels because the holes were too small. Second I had to re locate the throttle push rod to the right side of the fuse. Third the nose gear was bent out of the package and would not even fit in the hole of the nose gear mount. and the best one is.... The frickin holes in the wing for the LG was not deep enough. only about 1/2!QUOT! I had to drill them deeper. I could have built a kit in the time it took me to put this SOB together.
