ESM F4U Build
I got my Corsair about 3 weeks ago and started the build about 2 weeks ago.
I chose an Aerovate 26 gasser for power, Sierra Retracts, and Keleo Muffler.
Having built RC Warbirds for Too long, I knew to Keep everything forward of the CG.
At first I thought the build would be a piece of cake( never is ).
1. I put the engine in with 2.5 deg. rt thrust. and cut the carb recess (a 2.5") round hole using the template provided with the engine.
I used 1/64" ply, 1.5" deep and end capped with same Ply.
Use the onside of a rattle paint can cap to form the circle.
2. Build a platform over the engine, with support sides. This will hold the batteries and tail lightener(weight).
At this point i realized how little room inside I had to work with.[img][/img]
