RE: Goldberg Wild Stik
Goldberg was owned by Lanier. Lanier, rumor has it, has been purchased by the Tower Hobbies conglomerate. After being charged $5 to download an instruction manual on my nickel (phone line), I'm not surprised that Lanier has new owners - or so the rumor goes. What comes around - goes around.
I just bought two of the 40 sized Wild Stiks off a fellow on eBay. Very low price. Cutting the front end back a bit won't bother me at all. Times like this is when you are glad that the assemblers did not use the necessary amount of glue to put it together properly.
I have a couple of NIB Saito .82s just waiting to go flying. I see a Wild Stik in one of their futures.
