Carl Goldberg Mirage 550 |
|
|
|
 This Carl Goldberg Electra was my first foray into
electric-powered RC flight aside from a powered glider (Great Planes
Spectra). It used a direct-drive .05 electric motor with an 8-cell, 1200 mAh NiCad
battery pack. The beast was heavy and flew very fast - too fast in my opinion to really call
it a trainer. It handled well, but was certainly not the "floater" that I thought it would
be. I planned to use it for giving Philip some stick time on something other than a glider,
but instead I flew it a few times and sold it to a guy at work.
