RE: Carl Goldberg Kits
For what it may be worth, I have built many an Extra and even though the Goldberg kit is a much worse build compared to the Great Planes 60 Extra, the Goldberg flies noticeably better... I did not like feeding the 1.08 but the combo was a nice one. A servo failure finally did her in but the result was worth the lousy wood. Also, the Super Chipmunk was an equally nice flyer... this time with an OS91.
Sorry to hear the kits are getting a bad rap in regards to what is just poor quality control.
