i built a goldberg cub full size and flew it for twelve years on and off floats the floats were the most fun i had the full size wing mine rolled and performed airabatics very

well it still rolled on floates but it took a lot or rudder and elevator to keep it leval i had a blast flying this airplane i had a fox fifty on it the engine was more than enough on wheels and really scale on floats on glassy water i had to pull it up on one float to get it off just like the real air plane my dad crashed it about eight years ago i just recently built another cub this time i built the clipped wing version and covered it in the red and white starburst scheme i havent flown it yet due to winters in alaska i plan on building the floats also i put dual servos in the wing and cut the ailorons short to look more scale i put a saito 65 on the clipped wing version i cant wait to fly it it was very fun and relaxing to fly i still have the full size wing and i might recover it to match the new colors i personally think the clipped wing looks better the full size can be hard to land if the wind is realy blowing with the full size wing all i can say is im shure youl have fun with either choice

oh and one thing i would recamend is when you build the rudder put a harder piece of wood in the lower section of the leading edge of the rudder for the tail wheel or put some light ply braces on the out side of the rudder to sandwhich the tail wheel mine ripped out on the first one and i had to add some light ply on the outside of the rudder to beef it up just a thought

tack

Tom suggested that I throw away the Goldberg asembly and go with an after market system and it will look more scale like also.

that would probably be a good idea what i did on my latest cub is just cut the part that goes into the rudder off and let the tail wheel free spin it turns pretty good with just the rudder and a little air over the rudder i didnt think it was required and ill probably just take it off when i get the floats on it because ill just leave it on floats i have lots of airplanes on wheels and its the most fun on floats

Gary,

Next time you're visiting Evening Air Hobbies, take a look at the tail wheel units that Don has in stock. I think you'll like them, and the price is right.

The weather man says we have the next 3 days in the lower 50s. Maybe we should try and get one more fly in before ......you know before it frigin snows. Maybe after work Wed.?

I don't get home untill 4 o'clock. By the time I could get to the field, it'd be 4:30. I don't think it'd be light long enough to fly. Let's see what Friday brings. I don't have to work.
