SHOESTRING 45
« on: April 16, 2014, 07:05:02 AM »
This laser cut kit builds a bigger version of the Goldberg Shoestring. It is not simply a 42” Shoestring that has been blown-up. After the basic shape was enlarged the nose was lengthened, the tail was lengthened, and the horizontal tail area was increased. The airplane has a 53” wingspan and 630 square inches of wing area. The plans are CAD plans with full size templates of all the parts. The kit includes the landing gear. The kit does not include the control system hardware. The airplane will mount an RSM GRW 525U  5 ¼ oz. tank. The tank is not part of the kit. This airplane looks like the Goldberg Shoestring you remember, but it is designed to fly better. The first kits will sell for $180.00 postpaid in the continental US.  #^

Yes, I ship to Canada. The farthest I have shipped a kit is to Australia. The price will be more than quoted above. I will have to subtract the shipping figured in the continental US price and add the estimated cost to ship to Canada. What I would propose is to charge a number I am confident will cover the shipping then refund the excess shipping. I estimate the total would be $203.65 with the shipping to you.

Thanks,  Pat

This is the Shoestring 45 that Dennis Lipsett built. He says it flies great!
