Default RE: FALCON III COMPLETION

I thought Bubba at Lanier had bought the Goldberg line. There are also Falcons at Early RC.

The second itteration of the original kit is the VR/CS design for this year in 3 channel form.

The Falcon started around 1963 or so, with a very narrow nose, set up for .09 to .19 engines. It had hard balsa spars, and could be flown with single channel escapement control. The "second itteration", widen the nose and kept the all balsa spars. It also showed proportional radio for the first time. The mark II added spruce caps to the spars (I lost mine with the wing with the balsa spars broke), but still had the balsa fuselage sides (made of several smaller pieces). Mark III has lite-ply fuselage.
