RE: Building a kit with my daughter
I absolutely agree with the Goldberg Protege. I built (assembled.. it's an ARF) one after reading Minnflyer's review. It is a great handling plane and a great performer. The build was fairly simple, and the best of all was that when I was finished, it did not require any weight to make the CG. Landing this thing is an absolute dream.
The review had the OS 55 AX engine, which is more than adequate. But, I put the OS 75 AX on mine because the LHS didn't have the OS 55 AX in stock. I was not sorry. Either way, it is a great aircraft.
