Default RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair



hi guys about the muffler I just knew I did not want to go out the bottem, so started looking for some one to make a custom t/t several at Toledo 2005, with one shop in florida, found a local machinestwho would build from a mock up so built one out of balsa, he looked at and said come back in two weeks, as it turned out he found some alum extrusion at theright width the hight was about 1/8 short, the rest is weldable flat stock and tube mtl, all the tubes were long so that I could fit them inside as I saw fit, they go in till they tuch a wall then I beveled them to alow about 1/8 clearnce, took all the peaces to awelder that I know, sat down and in about half hour I had my muffler, I did not change the mounting method just used grade eight bolts and hi temp lock nuts. All I will say about the price it was vary right as prices I had gotten earler were double.. we are having lighting so will close for now
