Default RE: Goldberg Eagle 2 trainer

Funny, but true story--I once crashed an alpha trainer, and tore up the wing only. While I was waiting to get the wing repaired, I flew the plane with a CG eagle II wing!!!LOL
As it turns out, the week after I planted my alpha in a tree (tearing up the wing only), my brother had a wing dowell break on his eagle II, and the wing departed in air. Needless to say, the wing floated down nice and gentle, and was the only thing that survived that crash. I used his wing on my alpha while I was trying to get my alpha wing repaired.

A few weeks later, I got the alpha wing repaired, and went to re-maiden the alpha with it's own wing--and, crash on takeoff. Again, just the wing destroyed. that's a tough fuse! So, back to the eagle wing! After that, i just flew it on the eagle wing, until I crashed my second plane (VMAR stinger). In that crash, the stinger's fuse was totaled, but the wing wasn't harmed too much. That plane had a semi-symmetrical airfoil that I really liked, so we cut my wing saddle out in the alpha to accept the stinger wing--it still flies like that today!

That plane has had three different wings on it. However, the ironic part is the alpha, crash, marriage of the eagle II!!! So, just order an eagle II wing, and put it on your crashed alpha and have fun

Funny thing is, I've never crashed the alpha with any other wing on it except the one the factory sent with it
