    Thanx. CJ

  • Yes, there is one major modification. I built from the Carl Goldberg plan, rather than the kit and used 1/32 contest balsa for most of the plane. It came out quite lite at 11g, without rubber.

    There I build a 180 rubber pwered, on weekend duty alert, I was flying it in our hangar, big enough for 2 135s. I trimmed it to fly a gentle "S". Right in the middle of one flight, the Sq Commander walks in on the other side, he sees the 180 comming at him and stops... cont..
