Carl Goldberg 1940 Sailplane at Buder Park, MO in HD!

1940 Carl Goldberg Sailplane originally marketed by Comet as a free-flight model. Built and flown by Frank Mehrten. Modified for three-channel RC control and modern OS-52 FS glow engine. Trexler tires. Frank reduced the positive incidence on the main wing from +4 to +1 degrees for less elevator trim change when transitioning from powered flight to power-off gliding. Thanks to Frank for the flight demonstration and construction details on this beautiful old-timer.

Love how the translucent covering shows off the beautiful structure of the fuselage design, and that classic red trim... Mr. Goldberg is smiling down for sure!
