Status: offline 		Ray, great timing...or not so great! Depends on how you look at it!
I just lost my Corsair today...Hit the only freek'n tree at, or near the approach on final, arggggggg! Of course, I just spent three weeks repainting and refubishing it... It was built by Jeff Q. I bought it last year and have been flying it for some time....It was a great plane, so I figured, what the heck...lemme fix'r up a bit....

Oh well, sigh.....

Can I use my Robarts in this airplane with little or no mods? No offense, but I have a brand new set of the 150HD8's and I'm not looking to replace them!

Also, the engine I had in the Ziroli was a Sachs 4.2.
I also have available a Z445.....

Give me your honest opinion, what would be best for this bird? Either of the two, or a larger engine?

It doesn't mention panel lines, hatch and rivet detail...Does it have this detail molded in?


Enquiring minds want to know........

Status: offline 		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.

Status: offline 		Thanks Ray.... I'm still not clear on the retracts. should I contact "BRUCE"??
You say, "So if the strut length fits and the mounting works, then I say save your money. "

Does this mean that you're not sure if they do fit?

If you're not sure, who would know, and how would I contact them?

And lastly, remember that favor you said you owed me? I'm cashing in on it now...I'd like a 35 to 50% discount on all, and maybe...if you're not too busy, you can build and paint it for me ...

Status: offline 		No I had not asked Bruce about other retracts in the plane, but I will come monday. What I am saying is, if the Roarts will fit, use them, they are good retracts. The tires may be a different story, as Bruce is having his Corsair wheels and tires made by Glennis, which are scale and thin profiled, to fit within the wing.




All of a sudden, my local amnesia if flaring up..............
