I don't plan on adding the retract doors as of right now. Iam going to fly it first before I start adding the scale stuff. Ya never know what'll happen on that first flight.
Can anyone answer this question....How do you think the OS Max .61 will fly it?

IMHO a 61 2 stroke would be marginal at best for power as the TFGE Corsair builds heavy. The minimum engine would be a 1.20 4 stroke for the extra torque a 4 stroke would provide.
I'm going to build the 'red box' 60 corsair and plan on using a saito 1.50.
Just my $.02

I got this kit and the OS Max .61 came with it. Right now money is tight so my question is HOW WILL the 61 fly the plane? Anyone flying a TF Corsair with the 61 on it? Ican always go bigger when I can afford it.

When you mean "builds heavy", what are you meaning. Is that with retracts, flaps, and paint. Or just the basic model itself? Thanks.

The basic model might be ok with a 61..adding retracts,flaps and paint will definitely make it heavier.
Also a corsair in particular needs a lot of ground speed before lifting off or it will stall and be ready with right rudder!

I am going to install the retracts, flaps, and monokote it. Nothing extra for the first few flights anyways. I would really reallyLOVE to put in a Satio 120 FSif I had the money. I have a new OS Max .61 and somecashI could trade for it.
