<<<<MODERATOR EDIT>>>>
This thread has spanned years and there has been a lot of information put out here. The one problem that the members here realized is that there is almost "too much" information, to the point that it was becoming difficult for others to find what they were looking for when viewing this thread. Who can blame them? This thread spans hundreds of pages and thousands of posts. So to help others navigate this thread several of the main members here in this thread have gone through it and created a directory that will make it easier for others of find the specific information that they are looking for.

okay, here we go. many of us recently bought the newly re-released Top Flight Giant Scale Corsair - GREAT! Someone had asked the question if the 86 inch (wingspan) version was just scaled up from the 62 inch model. I have both sets plans (and also some red box plans!) and while there are definite similarities, there are very obvious additions to the larger model for strengthening (ie 1/4 inch square balsa diagonal bracing in the fuse, hinge blocks for the Robart type hinges, motor mount design to name a few), but overall, the GS Corsair is very straight forward in its buildup, typical of the Top Flite Gold Edition models.....
I guess first off, we should do a roll call - list what you have planned (or undecided) for your specific Corsair. I'll start off....
Engine: Undecided (I have never done a gasser - I need some input here)
Retracts: The Robart 148s and associated tailgear (again, if someone has a better idea, I'm listening)
Wheels: Robart aluminum hubbed 4.5 inch wheels (is this too small for this plane?)
Finish: My typical .75 ounce glass cloth with Deft polyurethane (not the water based stuff), possibly latex, PPG 2060 dead flat clear for fuel proofing.
Markings: I am a big tri-color fan and will probably do one of the Jolly Roger themes, if not, I'll fall back on good ol' Pappy Boyington's #86 bird.
Details: I would like to at least add panel lines, simulate the fabric covered surfaces, including the outer wing panels, hidden access hatch for r/c and fuel hookups, scale gear doors, cockpit kit, and anything else others may come up with.
okay, that's my outline - who's on-board and what do you have planned?
