The glue joints were terrible. I hate to castigate Goldberg, because this is a very nice flying model. It meets all of what I would expect of it, and more. The quality is just what you would expect from an ARF. If I took some time to attend to some of the vulnerable points I may not have had as much damage.. but it was, in fact, minimal, so I really can't complain. I fixed what I thought was a problem, good old Epoxy.. and took it from there.

Those clamps are generally available at Home Depot, Lowes, and Ace Hardware (which is where I got mine). I just took them off the fuselage after making the repairs and it looks solid as a rock.

More pictures will follow momentarily.

Ha Minn.. yeah, but it happened about 6 months ago.. so it didn't just happen. I am just now getting to fixing it. It's still to cold for these old tender coast guard fingers..

Ignore the dirt on the engine head... that's next to get cleaned off.
