Firepower R/C

Hello all. I have had this thing sitting unbuilt in my closet for 4 years... it had been poked, knocked, dropped, dented, and inflicted with so much hanger rash I was almost not going to build it. Every now and then I would glance in the box and try to decide if it was even worth the effort. Well, about 2 weeks ago I was thinking about how great these fly & that even in its sorry state it would be a great weekend cruiser. One thing led to another, more and more ideas and additions to the original plan of a quick build... and I end up with the best Alfa I have ever built (which is about 7). I also wanted to fit a set of drop tanks & pylons I made a while back when I was drop tank and pylon crazy. Everything has exceeded my expectations. I may offer these for sale someday, but for now I would like to have the only set flying!

Here are some pics... tell me what you think of the plane & tanks. The pictures look really blue with my flash, so I included one without flash so you can see a better actual representation of the color. What do y'all think?

I maidened this Corsair tonight... as with most Alfas, it flew excellent! a few clicks of right and down and it was tracking like an arrow. It is slow to roll, however. I dialed back the elevator until it would just mush along instead of stalling. Axi 2212/34 motor, Jeti 12 amp ESC, generic 1300 mah 11.1 volt Li-po. This airplane has a great Corsair "whistle" while on a high speed pass. I am in love all over again!!! Now for a flight with the drop tanks... perhaps tomorrow.

Thanks Airboss for the compliment!!!

flew it with the tanks tonight... it went well. Flies good with them, just a little bit slower, and it looked really good. Video soon I hope.
