RE: Photos of Carl Golberg and original Falcon 56
My first RC plane was a Falcon 56; with an OS 19rc and 4channel reeds. The transmitter and receiver were built from kits by another modeler. The first flight was a 12 foot loop. Luckily there was 2 feet of snow onthe ground and the only damage was to the nose gear. That was in 1963.With the help of other modelers I was able to get it trimed and flew it for a year until I hit a hay wagon with it after I moved to Arkansas.
I built 3 or 4 others in the following years and travels. I have a wing in my garage with ailerons that I will build a fuse for one of these days.
