Routhflier61 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Just got this model, which is ARTF and needs very little in the way of assembly. However, it is not clear from the very sparse instruction book whether it can be flown with the wings held in place with the supplied joiners, or if the two halves should be epoxied together. (two tubes of epoxy are in the kit, with no other discernable use) Has anyone got one of these? and can advice be offered, Thanks in advance.

David Ashby - Moderator Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I've not looked at the F4U closely but I just relied on wing bolts with my FMS P-51 - this seemed fine although I guess there's no harm gluing the halves together AND using the joiner if transportation isn't a problem. The joiner must be used whether you glue or not of course I found the P-51's wings a bit of an effort to remove owing to the fiddly routing of the aileron, flap and retract leads so the wings stayed on the model and, for me, transportation wasn't a problem, the model just squeezing into the car whole.

paul@scc Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 My mates Corsair had its first outing yesterday. I had a go on the sticks and I must say it is Fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi g Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 The wings on mine are held with the screws only but since it can be transported 1 piece I would recomend gluing however it might make single wing panel replacement impossible if required.
