AirRayInc -> Century Jet Corsair (5/5/2002 7:58:40 AM)

Crashing absolutely sucks! Crashing a good flyer sucks even more. I have had a couple of pigs over the years that I wished would just roll over and die , but those heavy hard to handle beasts would just keep on going and going. Then you get a "dream" plane like a Corsair, and ..... well something ends the relationship.
On the Century Jet; Retracts first, the Robart giant scale hd version is a solid unit. I trust it completely to handle up to a 65lb airplane. Aesthetically, I like the Robart as well, as it has that good looking down link on it. So if the strut length fits and the mounting works, then I say save your money. Me, if Bruce can replace the 3/4" struts for 1", I will upgrade to that diameter. I like those 1" struts. I can give very possitive testiment to the 3/4" as well. These two sizes are very robust and should offer lots of trouble free operation, sans the occisional hard landing or two.
Fuse and wing detail. I attached a close up picture of an access hatch, and there you can see the panel line detail. I dont recall rivets.
Sachs 4.2, is a very strong motor, and will adequately fly the plane, and depending on your all up weight will give you faster than scale presentations. I plan to run the 5.8, that way my prop to plane relationship will look nice.....not to mention the 5.8 is one powerfull motor.
