I have very fond memories of my Carl Goldberg Lil' Wizard. It was the
first flying model I built. It was designedt to take the punishment a
trainer must, and mine took its fair share. As you can see, the motor
mount is rubberbanded to allow it to "give;" the landing
gear are also rubberbanded to allow them to give too. The plane also
had some sort of automatic "up" elevator arrangement that
would keep the plane flying if the lines went slack. That feature,
combined with a hefty bit of wingtip weight, let the plane actually
keep its own lines taught for beginners who may not know yet the
"back up if you need to keep the lines tight" shuffle. NOTE: I
earned my "Pilot's Certificate" from the model company
with this plane. A photo of that certificate is on the BAM Photo
Gallery immediately below the thumbnail image of the Lil' Wizard. |
