Default RE: Goldberg Extra....again

3dwannaB,The hobby town here deals in MPI products so I got him to order it for me.Nice unit,Ill own another for the new Ultimate when its done.MPI advertises on here,usually at the top of the page w/ their HiMaxx electric stuff.Dauntae,I believe it was you telling about the graupner tanks,Im looking for one now.This new kit is the laser cut version,and so far I like the older version better.They cant laser cut the fuse sides so they routered them.Kinda messy looking.Ill probaly change my mind when I start the wing,the ribs do look good lasered.Also the ply doublers for the horn mounts are missing 2 of them.I made them,no big deal,but kinda a slip up on what is supposed to be an improvement.The black one is probaly repairable,the fuse broke in half in front of the turtle deck.The wing didnt have a mark on it except for splitting the sheeting on the top leading edge.It hit on the right nose and must have spit the wing out backwards.Im going to give it to a flying buddy who likes to tinker with rebuilds.If Im going thru the trouble of stripping and recover,Im gonna have a new plane that is straight as possible.
