After coming back to rocketry in 2009, using my son as an excuse for me to indulge my own yens, I tried to get back to RC planes a few years later...it never really 'took'. Part of that was I was too scared to fly anything other than my foam trainer, despite having tracked down and assembled 2 CLASSIC Carl Goldberg planes, a Senior Falcon trainer and a 56 Falcon; both were Great Planes ARF versions that had been discontinued a few years by then. Both have OS engines (.61 and .42, I believe), Hitec and/or good import servos, and most important of all, the Sr. Falcon was flown twice by an expert flyer (less than 10 minutes in the air....ever), and the Skylark has never been flown at all. I'll get some actual photos up soon, but stock photos below.
If you're in IL or WI, don't let me stop you from making offers, but that's not really the purpose of this thread. Mostly, I'm wondering what their value might be, and where ae some good, Midwestern RC websites where I can find them loving homes with owners who know how rare & cool it is to have these planes in such utterly pristine shape...nary a nick in any Monokote. I also have an unbuilt giant-scale kit, a NIB Syssa gasoline engine & some radio stuff...but it's the Goldbergs that need to find homes...and free up valuable closet space!
Is $200-250 unreasonable and/or unrealistic for each plane (more for the falcon)? God knows that's less than 1/2 of what I paid for kits, motors & parts!
