I started with a Goldberg Eagle and then a SIG LT40 before moving to a low wing plane. I then flew both the Sig Four Star 40 and the Goldberg Tiger 2. I like the Tiger much better than I did the Sig. After three years I still fly the Tiger regularly and continue to enjoy it. It is my "go to" plane to "get back in the groove" if I haven't flown for awhile or am a little spooked by wind conditions at the field. It absolutely sticks to the runway on landing-no bounce at all. It has a precision and crispness that I did not sense in the Sig. From the comments of others in my club the general opinion is that the 60 size Four Star flies better than the 40, while the Goldberg flies equally well in either the 40 or 60 version. Just one opinion, I know, but I thought you might appreciate input from another novice.
