Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

has anyone had a sneak preview of this plane? the size and weight looks prfect for a YS-140L, although the price is a little steep at $399
SPECS: Wingspan: 78.75" (2000mm)
Wing Area: . sq in ( sq dm)
Weight: 11.5 - 12.5 lb (5.2 - 5.7 kg)
Wing Loading: . oz/sq ft ( . g/sq dm)
Length: 83.25" (2115mm

looks like a bigger matrix

I saw in the Tower Talk and I have been eyeing it. I now own a YS 1.40 and have nothing to put it in and this might fit the bill pending a flight report from the 1st guinea pig who buys it :D

I got my Tower Talk today and man does that thing look nice. I bet the price comes down like their Goldberg Sukhoi ARF I bought. I got it when it first came out for 399 now you can buy it for 299. Only time will tell but it sure looks very tempting.

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

Nice plane. Kinda chunky though, 11.5-12.5. Anyone know where the tank location is?

A better view of the tail movements/ailerons would be good too. I saw the icepoint marketed as a 3d plane, but it did not appear to have counterbalanced elevators, or even a big one at that. Correct me if I'm wrong.

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

Heck, 399 seems like a steal for a nice 2 meter plane. Hope a review comes out soon. Anyone heard about the EF Virtuoso??? Is that thing out YET;)?

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

Has anyone got one yet? I have a ys 140L that needs a plane .

BTW the manual is up on CG site

Here it is http://www.carlgoldbergproducts.com/k12090.pdf

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

there is one at my lhs now, I will go have a closer look at it this week and report back

From the manual it appears the tank is near or very close to the cg mark in the pics. I could be wrong but it looks like its downstream of the throttle servo. hmm...I just got a Super Tigre 3000 and my YS is also waiting...c'mon, someone must of have bought it by now!! ;)

i seen one at the WRAM show few weeks ago, it's pretty big! i thought it was a 50cc size, but it said Obsession on the side,

looked well assembled.

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

Hobbyshop guy got one and it's awesome!!

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

hows it flY?

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D

good luck Jim [sm=thumbup.gif]

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

My local hobby shop has one as well, pulled it out of the box and was surprised at the size. Looks very well built, maybe a little heavy. I am thinking the OS 1.60 I have laying around would do well in this airplane. Are there any videos of this on the net yet? Hobby shop will part with it for $350.00....hmmm

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

Decided what the heck and picked this one up.

I did some quick weighing of the parts, my scale is not the most accurate and I believe it actually errors on the heavy side. All the weights taken were also in the plastic shipping bags, maybe worth a few oz's here and there.

L. wing - 21
R. wing - 21
Fuse - 43
L. Stab - 5
R. Stab - 5
Rudder - 3
Wing tubes (front and rear) - 10
Landing gear - 8
Wheels - 4
Wheel pants - 4
Cowling - 3
Misc parts (fuel tank, pushrods etc..) - 12

=139 oz
8.68 lbs = 8lbs 11oz

Looks like this will be tough to get under the 12.5 lbs using the OS1.60 I have.

I will try and snap some pictures later for anyone interested.

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

How much does the rest of the gear weigh just wondering. motor,servo etc..

yea some pics would be nice:D

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

I need to weigh everything I have once I pull it out of another airplane, will do that tomorrow. Not sure how it will turn out. I will say that the construction is real nice, covering is perfect. I posted some pictures in my gallery, not sure how to put images in a post though...

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

thanks for the pics, looks like the fuel tank is right on the CG. Looks like a winner folks! Now I have to contemplate now, either my YS 1.40 or my Super Tigre 3000..hmm..

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

my gosh,, that is a MEGA rudder.. i didnt realize it was so far back from the stab like that. MAN that is a tempting plane. I would love to stick my YS on it.. NICE!!

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

In case anyone is interested....

Just did a recalc on the weight and it looks like I will be able to come in at 11.14 OZ (+- 2 or so) all said and done. This is with 6v battery, four Hitec 5475's (Ailerons/Elevators), one Hitec 5925 (Rudder), one Hitec 81mg (Throttle), and an OS 1.60 with OMP sport pipe and a perry pump. Not too bad for an airplane this size, think it will perform quite nicely.

Now I wonder what prop to run, currently have an zpro 18x6, heard the zpro 20x6 does well?

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

real cool

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

lets get some vids of it flyin!

I see my next plane:D

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

Our LHS has one im so tempted..

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

dbrford,

any updates on how it came out?

thanks

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D
 

Unfortuntely I am traveling on business until the end of the month and not able to work on it. Really bummed as I think this is going to be a very good airplane. I still think this is going to come out below 12lbs, which should put the wing loading at around 22oz, should be nice for an airplane this size.

A buddy of mine from my local club brought his to "show and tell" at the club meeting this week - it is freaking huge. He said it went together rather easily. He put a saito 150 in it - said it was over 12 pounds though.
