For Sale with all proceeds to the TEMAC kitty
Donation was from an estate.
Vintage Goldberg Models Senior Falcon Kit. 69" span, length 53", 6.25 pounds, 810 sq" wing area, .35-.60 size IC. Based on the price on the box ($49.95) I suspect it was pre-1970. I have an Academy Products catalogue that states the suggested retail price in Canada was $64.50 in May 1972.
This kit has the original balsa sides compared to the later Liteply in the Mark 2 model. It appears to be a complete kit but I have no way of knowing.
There is a lot of balsa in this kit that can be re-purposed.
Auction Rules: All bids on this post only, at least $2.00 increments on the previous posted price. The person with the highest posted bid before 8:00*pm on Thursday, December 31, 2020 is the winner.
I will start it off with an opening bid of $20.00

Musing about the next construction project; what if I attached to the wing the 4 electric motors planned fro the Lancaster?!?
@Michael Twin Otter project planted that thought in my head...
I will sketch something when the kit arrives, just to see what if...
Handing over the kit to the winning bidder (Guy, Left) once he could get it from Andy's (right) meathooks.

We were joined by Graham McNicol. He was the independent witness for the hand-off. The location was within a 9 iron from his house.
So happy I got this kit. ;D
Unfortunately, a quick survey of the plans showed that it could not be made into a planned 4-engine Lancaster. :(
The motors I have are way too small for this model - the construction would require too much re-engineering and tinkering.
A Lancaster will be built from scratch, this model will see flight closely resembling the original, with appropriate lightening where needed.
