cheers,
V.

PS since there's so much brain power here, is there a 1/6 scale cockpit on the market? THX

Status: offline 		Lots of Guys use the Fuel fill area, in front of cockpit, top of fuse..

Cockpits The ones I know of are Both from Top-Flite 1/8 th scale Not correct to any real Corsair ,it`s a Mix up of all the Variants,and the Other is for their Giant @ 1 / 5.75 . I can`t tell you much about it ,as far as correctness but it has a dash, side panels and seat.That one you could most likely trim to fit ..RT3232 or one of the other guys will be able to tell you more.. Check tower hobbies you`ll find pics there

Status: offline 		i was also watching my baa baa black sheep dvd and getting ideas. i talked to a top gun pilot who tok a tf corsair moded the tips and rudder and came in 2nd. He said they can fly well in the high 20"s and low 30 lbs range. Just keep the speed up. i talked to wingspan models last night they said you can wire the light modules to a std pack without going thru a rx and use switches to turn them on. my switchs will be in the cockpit. noe if I could find working miniture switches all the better

Status: offline 		.Warks, I`ve been Looking for your Plane ,and I have not found much except for what you alreay know about that Plane..I`ve Been Thinking about what you were asking about,Who was the Pilot..It could be Very possible ,that the Plane Flew ,right Around the Clock..And Had several Drivers Keeping it in the Air..If you look at the wings ,you can see that 2 of the inspection covers are switched, and are on the Wrong Wings ,by the Graphics not matching up ..Keep the Faith.. I still have places to look ,that I haven`t had a chance to take a peek yet..Maybe you`ll still be Blessed By "God" yet !! Right Tim ?? LOL HAHAHAaaaa


..Tim I really don`t like the idea ,of Stealing power from your Flight pack...You get a short in the wires or Whatever, and run out of electricity, and Bye Bye Baby. Use a 9 volt Transistor Radio Battery and Step the voltage down..Much better if your light do go out,at least you can still control the plane..But it`s your model ,so it`s your choice..

Look here for Switches; Digi-Key they have an online catalogue and a big Honking Free one, that will come in the Mail ,if you fill out the form on the website It`s about the size of a phone book...It`s FREE !!!

Status: offline 		D Bronk thanks for looking if you or anybody can give me more info that would be great. I am doing a TF giant Corsair that is now painted in this scheme has not been cleared coated yet so was looking for should we say "The Rest Of The Story" Was just trying to document it best as possible. I picked this scheme because I was trying to have something different. I like the three color one but have a Hellcat in that already. Thanks again!

Tim, like D Bronk said you can use a 9 volt transister battery which is light and small. 9 volt batt, 1/4 watt 250 ohm resister, batt lead to plug on to the batt. You can get these from Radio Shack or an electronics srore. This is a very cheap way to go but on the other hand if you have a pack laying around not doing anything then you can't get any cheaper than that.

Randy
