Status: offline 		It's not just the TF Corsair ARF that is seemingly priced rediculously low: the FlyZone F-86 is down to just under $60 (USUALLY well over a hundred).
Maybe Tower wants some cash by Dec 21, to have one last party with before the world ends?
OR, maybe it's just the end for Tower?

Its possible some things do not sell as well as planned so the inventory numbers have to come down.

End of Tower? Nah, me thinks it is surplus inventory.

Should be here in a few days. Now I'll have to break out my box set of Ba Ba Black Sheep DVD's to get in the right frame of mind for the build (Assembly).

I used a Saito 150 on my P-40 arf. It has adequate power...

Status: offline 		No beefing up. I figured it's better to have useful weight up front vs. hanging 20+ oz of lead up front for balance. The engine fit inside the cowl with nothing sticking out. Using the 150 enabled me to run a 3 blade 16x8 prop, looks a bit more scale.

On the Corsair, I am going to use the YS 120, same as you.

I planned on a recover anyway as I want to do the Budweiser Light Corsair anyway.

Thanks for the update. Two of the three ordered have come in. I haven't had a chance to pull it out of the box yet, but will hopefully get a moment to look one over tonight. I just might have to put a couple projects on the back burner for this bird.

Status: online 		Mine just came in, and finally I recieved something that wasn't damaged in shipping. I gotta say, this is one nice arf. Even more so then the mustang. The covering job is one of the nicest I've seen(just a couple minor wrinkles) looking forward to customizing the scheme a bit, maybe just spray some lighter blue so it's a tri color.

Roughen the Monokote with some fine steel wool, and use Rustoleum spray enamel. Clear coat it with flat polyurethane.
