I hope to have it all painted by the end of the year. I will post a pic on its gear. Then, I will have to figure out a powerplant. With the new cowl, I am hoping to be able to get the 260 radial in there....we shall see. I will need to build a motor mount and get the cowl all dressed up and painted. My buddy Phil installed the Dynamic cockpit kit for me, in exchange for me building his 115 inch Seafury wing. That was a nice trade on labor. The COrsair will definitely maiden this coming summer....would like to take it to the C.A.R.D.S. event in Michigan in June. Stay tuned.
