Default RE: Building a Top Flite GE 1/8 scale F4U Corsair

hey guy's. I'm new to the forum but have several 1/8 to 1/5 scale corsairs that i built and modified for flight and the best advice i can give u is, yes the pull pull system works great for tail whell and rudder combination provided u use the right cable and a high torque servo. as for the rudder an aluminum ro epoxied behind the rudder leading edge between and under the ribs will strengthen ur tail without addind too much weight. as for the build and flying, it's alot harder than it looks due to the engine size and weight of plane. it's still very fun though. most of your queries can be addressed if u look at the aspects of your smaller craft and it's faults prior to building and flying.
