RE: Remembering Carl Goldberg Models
I built the Skylane 62 near the end of it's life cycle, 1986 or so. I bought the kit from the hobby store in NYC that advertized every month in RCM, a full two page ad, don't remember their name but I did read the ad every month, like something might change. The Skylane was a great built, lots of craving, lots of balsa dust. First plane that I built that had an airfoil shaped stablizer, it seemed like the plane would hang on forever while landing, main wheels first, then drop on the nose. Most trainer type planes I see today just plop down on the ground.
I used Goldberg retracts in a Sig Bonanza, worked flawlessly
