    to scratch-build a 27" and a 36" Goldberg
    LIL RASCAL,
    all-balsa, UC or FF model airplane. The model used a Baby Spitfire .045 or K & B Torp .049 because they both had attached fuel tanks. Today a Cox PEE WEE .02 is best---that's true if you make your models into an RC.
    The 27" span wing, rudder, stabilizer and fuselage side patterns are clearly drawn on this restored
    PLAN
    . Competent scratch-builders will be able to make a firewall and fuselage bulkheads by the cut-and-try method using sheet cardboard to make your patterns.
    Pop’s Pro Tip:
    “I made my firewalls slightly wider than the backplate mounting width of the 1/2A engine I planned to use. From that width and height I made as many bulkheads of the same width and varying heights back to the rearmost point of the wing trailing edge. Then I made the number of bulkheads needed from that point on back to the rear tip---tapering them in width as I went.”
    “I'm admonished at times for "back-to-basics" explanations but, if there is a simpler model to scratch-build & enjoy flying, I don't know of it.”
