Hello everyone,

I just bought a Goldberg Eagle 2. I crashed my Hanger 9 Alpha trainer in a pilot error debacle, and since the price of a new wing is similar to that of another ARF, I chose to buy another ARF, until my building skills catch up with my level of building space, skill and patience. I would like to repair the Alpha because I have flown it numerous times and it is a lot of fun.

When I went to purchase the new ARF, the hanger 9s were out of stock so I chose the Goldberg.

Upon receiving it I noticed I was missing all the hardware. I called Tower Hobbies, and they told me it was a Goldberg problem. After two attempts I found someone at Goldberg to listen, and the parts are alledgedly on the way.

Now, anyone else with an Eagle 2 out there, I would appreciate any input that you have. I am really new to RCU. The only other guy that I know in my area that flys turned me on to the site.
The other question that I have is about the engine mount for the Goldberg. It is ply that is epoxied into the engine compartment. The Alpha had a metal mount bolted to the firewall. Will there be any lack of durability with the wooden mount?

Again I am new here so advice on the plane as well as site navigation, where to go with silly questions, etc, would be appreciated.

JJ
