Default Royal Corsair 60 Build

After seeing Luke showcase this old kit, I decided that I just had to have one. Easier said than done.

After several failed ebay auctions, I finally acquired a kit without paying an absurd price.

I didn't want to just build it, and not have a kit anymore, so I started drawing the individual parts in Autocad. I now have the wing parts drawn, and decided to try cutting my own parts.

One aspect of having them on the computer is that I can adjust all of the slot widths to accept american wood instead of the metric wood that comes with kit.

I printed the spars and ribs, and glued them to wood with spray adhesive, and cut them out on a scroll saw. My first parts are shown in the pic.

If there are already too many corsair threads for everyone, let me know and I will quit. The build thread are always my favorite.
