THIS IS THE CARL GOLDBERG ULTIMATE. THIS USED TO BE THE SECOND MOST PURCHASED RC AIRPLANE IN THE WORLD FOLLOWING THE J3 CUB, MIGHT STILL BE. THE DARK BLUE BLUEHAWK VERSION IS A MODEL I PURCHASED WHEN I GOT INTO THE HOBBY. IT WAS COVERED IN CLOTH AND SORT OF HEAVY, AROUND 11LBS. DESPITE THE HEAVY WEIGHT, IT DID FLY WELL. IT HAD A SUPERTIGRE 90 ON IT. I TRADED IT YEARS AGO TO SOMEONE IN MINNESOTA FOR A NEW FOX GAS ENGINE AND SOME SUPER COVERITE PAINTABLE FABRIC. I JUST FINISHED BUILDING A NEW ULTIMATE. IT WEIGHS IN AT 8LBS. IT SPORTS AN OS .91FX TWO STROKER WITH A MACS TUNED PIPE. THE TUNED PIPE IS TOTALLY CONCEALED INSIDE THE FUSELAGE. EXHAUST EXITS THE BOTTOM OF THE FUSE DIRECTLY UNDER THE COCKPIT. IT'S COVERED IN YELLOW AND MISSILE RED MONOKOTE AND THE COWL AND WHEEL PANTS ARE PAINTED IN TOPFLITE MISSILE RED. UNFORTUNATELY, THE MONOKOTE COVERING AND TOPFLITE PAINT DO NOT MATCH LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO. EVEN WITHOUT THE MATCH IT TURNED OUT LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. THE FLAMES ARE CUT FROM THE RED MONOKOTE AND APPLIED OVER THE YELLOW.
