147.0. "Goldberg J-3???" by NRPUR::FORAN () Thu Apr 30 1987 09:10

    	Any body out there that has built/building a Goldberg J-3???
    I was out visiting a flying field in Michigan last weekend and there
    were two of them out there and they kinda gave me the bug, they
    were both powered by 4 cycle 90's, yes I said 90's ( a wee bit of
    overkill!)  I have an OS40 that I think would have no problem with
    it although a 4 cycle prrs nicely and sounds sorta scale.  Anybody
    out there bought any mailorder stuff??  That kit sells M/O for about
    59 bucks, but retails for 89 bucks.  Sounds like it would be worth
    ordering, anybody got any ideas on this.

	I haven't built one myself(not my kin of airplane) but a few fellow in the club have. One has a 4/90 and the other a 4/60. The fellow with the 4/90 intends to fly off of water so he wanted more power. They seem to fly OK, if that's your style. Surely not a windy day knid of plane. I've heard that they build well. Tom
147.2	I watched one last Sunday	TALLIS::FISHER	Kay R. Fisher	`Fri May 01 1987 15:17`	15
	Last Sunday it was very windy and the most stable landing plane flying was a Carl Goldberg J3 Cub. I think it had an OS40 in it. He had said that he had a Sib J3 Cub before and he much preferred the Carl Goldberg version. The wind was a lot of fun - hand launches were a peace of cake. Landing was a little tricky (except the Cub had no problem). _!_ Bye ----O---- Kay R. Fisher / \ ==============================================================

147.5	Great kit!!	MPGS::PERCUOCO		`Fri Nov 04 1988 11:19`	11
	I'm just about finished with my "Goldberg cub"! I'ts a beautiful kit, real easy to assemble and quality parts! I'm putting an ENYA 90 4s in it. Being such a big engine, I mailed out to "Fiberglass Masters" for a glass cowl cause the plastic cowl that comes with the kit is tough to fit a 4-stroke thru. Well, the glass cowl fit like a glove and will probably take the vibration alot better. I highly recommend the "Goldberg J-3" for a first scale project. Good luck! Tom
