RE: Price of Goldberg 30% Ultimate???
No argument with your comments. If you prefer 3D then the Goldberg isn't it. It appears the 30% Goldberg is a dead ringer for Godfrey's 30% Ultimate kit which is no longer available. Not a surprise as Bob Godfrey designed several of Lanier's first giant scale aerobats. Back then 3D wasn't thought of, more towards IMAC and pattern, so heavier airframes were the norm to keep them flying on the invisible rail.
I agree the $899.00 price is absurd, even if it is a new, improved batch. It was reasonable at $499.00. It will be interesting to see if that price remains. Often within a big organization the right and left hands are oblivious to each other.
