I tripped across this one. A friend of mine that owns Manuel's Taco Hut Mexican restaurant close to where I live had this one living in his garage. It seems that his father began this project when he was a kid. It appears that the kit was manufactured between the early 70s and early 80s by the Carl Goldberg Company and looked to have almost all of the original parts. A few balsa panels and a wing tip will need to be ordered to complete this project A .15 size 2 cycle engine by HB-Enginges in germany was included as well a 4 channel Futaba radio system complete with 4 servos and a receiver
	Everything in the basic kit looked to be in great shape - It included two props, the wheels, a fuel tank and fuel line, the prop spinner, all of the balsa wood pieces and all of the hardware needed. As I had indicated before, only one balsa sheet and a wing tip will need to be ordered. The Main wing, Stabilizer and Fin were completed for the most part by his Dad, only a small adjustment was needed on the main wing assembly to set it right. I should enjoy building this one and will have my first opportunity to finish a plane using Monocote. I can't wait!!
The radio equipment is the Futaba FP-4L system running a 4 channel FP-T4L transmitter and 4 channel FP-R4F receiver that transmit and receive at 72.590 mhz. The 3 include servos and the additional servo for the throttle are all Futaba's FP-S28 indirect drive servos. I will make sure that the radio equipment is still compliant as standards changed as of 1991.
	The HB-Engines .15 size 2 cycle motor appears as new as the day it was purchased. It has never been fired up and appears in perfect working order.

I will be posting pictures soon - I converted it to electric using a Monster Power 10 brushless motor from nitroplanes.com. Lots of power and ease of use. While other guys are "tuning" their fuel planes, I'm flying! And I can fly at a local soccer field! (Don't get me wrong, I still like fuel planes.)
