Brodak Remake of the Goldberg Shoestring

[Bill Little]

Hi All,

A very simple request that many will know the answer for!  I also put this in the Classic section, but more will see it here

I have a Brodak Profile Shoestring (Goldberg remake) and I want to recreate my original one.  This means I need to know the mixing formula for the "Chartreuse" found on the old Goldberg plans.  Brother Marvin Denny told me but I forgot and lost the paper I wrote it on.

I *think* it is 8 parts Cub Yellow and 1 part Cessna Green.  Verify, or correct it, please!

THANKS!

Bill,
I have an original ( well second issue I guess?) Shoestring at home, if no one answers before then I can look at the plans and see what I find for you,
email me though or I might forget?

Thanks a ton, Mark.  Believe it or not, I do have the #16 decal that was on the wing of my original!  Just a tiny bit of the original Chartreuse shows.

you are correct - 8 parts Cub Yellow - 1 part Cessna green - I can send you the plan if you want

Hi Bear,

My Goldberg Shoestring plan sez :
     Mix 8 parts Cub Yellow with 1 part Cessna Green

Looks like you are spot on.

Thanks, Wynn, but I don't think I will need the Goldberg plans.

Hi Bill

I built one of these back in 1968 with a Fox 25 & 9x5 Rev-Up, it was a good flyer on 52' .012 lines. Yours will probably fly great.

Thanks, Dan!  Mine was first built in 1964 and actually was powered the first time with a Red Head McCoy .19.

Four of us had a combat event for three summers that had very simple rules to keep everything equal; Goldberg profiles, any plain bearing 35, and 10% fuel that I mixed for all of us, we flew on 60', eye to eye.
What a blast that was for those three summers!
