With this clone completed, I have a couple of questions about my next two builds. (Is it bad to be building two at a time? My fleet is making inroads on most of the floor space around here.) 1) A 1:1.54 Goblin upscale, using a perfect ST-20 tube and beautiful upscale nose cone from Sandman. I'd like to make this a two D engine cluster. Does anyone know where I could order such an engine mount for an ST-20 tube? 2) A standard Wolverine clone, again props to Gordon for the quality nose cone. Does anyone know off the top of their head the thickness of the original Wolverine's balsa?
As usual, thanks for the help!


Sucks for the Goblin. I did the same thing you did, made a new body to go with the old nose cone. It was yellow, then orange, then yellow again. Still doesn't have the decal.
Geez, I wish I only built two at a time.
I thought the Wolverine balsa was 3/32". I've never gotten one to fly without a wiggle. Something about that fin setup.
