Jon H Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 That thing is built like a brick out house. Its no wonder they can end up very heavy. See if there are any places you can remove a little material, especially in the rear fuselage and tail. Your efforts will be rewarded when it comes to c/g. Good looking build though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeQ Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Hello James any progress on your Corsair ... I've been kit bashing mine into an F2G looky likely for the last 20 yrs! I replaced a lot of the wood with competition density stuff and I think it will still be a brick! I've seen them fly very well though? Plan to finish it in 'Olathe reserves' colour scheme ... eventually. Be really interested to see how yours. One out. Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Mark Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hello Mike Just seen even your comment, sorry not been following my own forum posts! Been making some progress lately,( photos to follow) I have started sheeting the wing after joining the wing tips to the centre section. The retract are fitted and tested, this is my first attempt at using retracts and they were a lot of work. Have decided to use a servo for each aileron, never did like all the cranks and pushrod you get with one servo. Have ordered glass cloth for covering and will apply it using Poly C, I used it on my Airsail Chipmunk with good results. There is still quite a bit of balsa bashing to do but it is enjoyable. I have given myself a year to finish the build but it is now half through the year😯 Cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc.stamant Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Hi, long shot here but I'm looking for the plans for this Corsair. I bought the plane kit but with no plans. Any chance one you guys are selling those plans.. Let me know. Thanks Marc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeQ Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Hi marc just saw thus. My plans were cut up a long time ago. In fact they were kind of ruined when i had a roof leak and a lot of the wood in the kit got a drenching and the plans mainly turned to mush. Bummer. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
