Default HOB Corsair II

Thanks ever so much for the CG info. Since I am not sure what % of MAC means, I'll go with 'your' reference point i.e. 6 and 3/4" from rear of canopy. By the way have you flown your Corsair, and if so how does it fly? I've heard the earlier productions needed a leading edge mod to improve the flight characteristics.
The fuse looks quite big and bulky but lots of room for the gear. The wing appears quite small - likely under 400". I suspect the standard OS .25 I have to be rather marginal for power. I was thinking of cramming in a 40 or 46 (the other extreme). A .32 would likely be just right, but I don't have one. Guess I'll go with the .25 and use a hardtop surface for a nice long take-off. Any other comments are welcome.......Scappy Pappy
