I'm in the middle of the build of a Top Flite Gold Edition Corsair 60, and am looking for anyone with some good quality build pics of the retract servo / air valve / cylinder installed and also with a retractable tailwheel cylinder system. I'm particularly interested in the best mounting location and how exactly do you mount them. I already have the main retracts installed and dialed in along with all the air line and also dialed in the air valve to simulate the slow retracts up one at a time. I have pics I'll be posting of the build.

I had bought this kit complete with radio system, covering, engine and all the bells and whistles for my father about 5 years ago. He was a novice and the kit was too much for him so my brothers and sisters purchased him a beginner trainer. The Corsair kit sat until his passing three years ago. This was his favorite airplane and I decided to get off my butt and build it in his memory.

I wished I had gotten on this site a while back, I really like the idea of mounting individual servo's for each wings ailerons. More tips and especially pics appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom

i may be off here, but you may want to hold off on mounting the take until you ve CGed the plane to some point, sometime getting CG is easily accomplished with a bit of battery and air canister movement if feesable. just a down the road thought that may be the next corner you come to... better to turn left now then to meander into the hood unknowingly with windows down and doors unlocked country muzac blaring on the stereo, and realize it After the crackheads have jumped in your car...
just a thought.
