Title: Nice find vintage Carlgoldberg Eagle
Post by: Gregor77 on March 07, 2023, 08:06:22 PM
Scored an Carl Goldberg Eagle!

We were doing a Job and found it hiding behind a hot water tank, it looks super old!  Covering is done, it needs some love!  Going to try to get this back in the air! 

Questions:

1) What power system? 3548 790KV? 
2) battery 4S?
3) Colours for a trainer, right now its black.. ;o(

Anything fun to do with it?

Your thoughts!

Besides the rudder and some strange method of hinging. Everything looks straight forward. This should not take too long to clean up.

Which channel is it?

Interesting fact: In the 7,000 houses I entered to handle insurance claims over 20 years I have only seen 3 that had model airplanes.  PAYDIRT Greg!!

We had a few "club" members from surrounding clubs. This is the first one that the home owner said I could have. Looking forward to repairing it. It's very satisfying to show the owners when done and flying. Let me check the FM. It's all yours if you want it Frank.

Then you wonder why it crashed. Can you tell what's wrong?
