Thanks for visiting my RC hangar. Above is a photo of my recently finished up Goldberg Ultimate. What a nice kit to build. They say the Ultimate used to be the second most purchased model kit in the world following the J3 Cub. I have been involved with this hobby for 9 to 10 years now and my passion has always been building airplane models. In the RC world, nothing beats building a radio controlled model airplane, taking it to a flying field and then getting it airborne. If you have any questions, comments or tips, please shoot me an email. Thanks again for visiting.
