Update 7/9/2025: Added review from Sam Speaks, Jan 1993, thanks to TomRyan.

Quote: "I purchased a Klarich Go-Getter kit; the parts and plans were extremely good quality and I built the model just as the plans called for.

The engine cowling was the most difficult part of the model to build - make sure to seal up the inside of the canopy; I used three coats of K & B epoxy to seal it up and make three celluloid front covers. I attached it to the fuselage with four light tacks of hot stuff.

I did modify the wing mount hold down by using dowels at the leading and trailing edges.

The model was covered as follows: Fuselage - silk, Wing gas model - silkspan, Stab & rudder - double Jap tissue, five coats of nitrate dope.

Flying the model is quite easy once it gets going; it tends to dutch roll from right to left for the first three or four seconds and then barrel-rolls up to the right, then wow, does it get up.."
