Hey Gibbs,

It's a liitle way down the page under "Sport Scale Cockpits", it's $35 and for TF, Ziroli or Byron. I didn't find a picture there but I called them and they sent me a pic. If I remember where I put the pic I'll send it to you. Let me know that you've found it.

Do a search on P-51 it will bring up a zillion, then pick out the ones that look promising, it will take some time but I have all ways been able to find most everything I was looking for

cimara,

I did a search on RCU and ended up with a PICA P-51 that was too good to pass up. I searched the forums and educated myself first. I then used the "Buy / Sell" section to hunt for a plane. I didn't plan on a Pica (GS) but a deal is a deal! My plane was a kit not the plans only. O hope this helps........ a little.

thanks Tomcat and Bob that does help. I just dont want a total fiberglass plane its more fun to build with wood any one can bolt together 5 or six pices of plastic if you know what i mean. Iam a better crasher than a pilot i will go down to the local club when i get this corsair done and get lots of lessons from an experience warbird pilot

NCIS

cimara,

Are those pictures above the P-51 wing or the Corsair wing? If it is the Corsair, I thought the whole wing got sheeted and then covered or glassed. What are the ribs for at the end of the wing? Is this a mod you did for more scale or what?

Gibbs

cimara

Gibbs thats the corsair wing i havent bought the plans for the p 51 just wanted some info on my next possible project .Anyway on the Corsair the outer wing panels are covered in fabric so to make it more to scale i did what u see above. got the idea from a post ealer in this thread .I have sort of gotten carried away with this build you all have got so many good ideas I have a hard time saying no to tring them on mine. Just hope i did it correctly

cimara

found this cockpit today on the web its for the 1/8 scale corsair but it looks pretty good might see if he can scale it up for the gs tf kit cant hurt to ask

Can you post picture or PM me with them of e-mail me and let me see how it's done. Or can you just tell me what page of this thread it's on?

Hi guys

Cimara

This is the follow that did the "Royal .60 Corasir Project" thread and that is why I keep pushing these threads there is so much info it will keep your mind in a blurrrr

You never know ware these things will lead you.. And the great part is the ideas are good for any project


Cheers Bob T

Gibbs first you cover the outer wing panels with 1/16 balsa and the center section with 3/32 . Then you will need some 3 views of the corsair take the 3 views and blow them up to be as close as possable to the wing size on the print . belive it or not there is very little diffrence untill it gets to the tips. I made new tips that matched that profile and sanded that to match the outer wing panels with the 1/16 balsa . then on the 3 views cut out the section with the fabric and use that as a pattern to cutout the fabric section of the 1/32 balsa. Then glue that over the 1/16 bals already on the wings upto but not over the center section .then you need to make lots of 3/32 by 1/32 thick balsa strips for the face ribs you will also need some 5/32 strips to replacate the thicker ribs in the wing . Ithink the thicker ribs is were the corsair wings were bolted togethr correct me if i am wrong .you can see my pattern in the center pic and the cut 1/32 balsa in the 1st pic .hope this made since

cimara

Heres the pages splitzed is mutch more articulate than me pg47 post 1169 and page 49 post 1177

cimara

Gibbs forgot to mention on the 1/32 balsa use the trailing edge as a guide to place your pattern the glue it from the te forward . its the best way to get fabric section lined up

Winston,

If what I saw on their website really works that looks great. I'll talk to them after Chtistmas and then I'm just the kind of guy who would try something new. If I try it I'll let you know what the results are.

Merry Christmas!

Hi Bob,

I resemble that remark a lot. My wife accuses me of having my "head band on too tight", a lot I'm afraid. I love the Corsair and am willing to try anything or look at anything that will make my Corsair look a little better.

Merry Christmas!
