RE: Carl Goldberg Kits
I've built and sometimes abandoned many kits over the years. Goldbergs are hard to build but fly great. Sigs are good quality. Great planes are also good quality but complicated. I now only scratch build simple stik and quickee 500 pylon types. The ARF's have us spoiled. I don't think the kits were ever easy to build or particularly good quality, and what with the craftsmanship in a lot of these ARF's so high and the price so low, you really wonder why you build a kit or scratch build, but I like to save the $50, and it give me something to do on rainy and snowy days. The kits days are probably numbered for the most part, but there will always be a few around, for those that like the challenge, or the old timers like me, that just can't used to the idea of a guy in a foreign country doing for me what I can do myself.
