Are these pics of your CURRENT buildup, or of your previous GS Corsair? I should be posting pics later tonight as I am in the middle of sheeting the top of the fuse. I have been using one of my smaller Forstner bits to lighten the plywood around the stab mount and the rear tailwheel area.....

Looking good.

The wing and build look similar to the 60 size kit. I found this stage to be about the hardest part in terms of keeping everything square and getting the proper alignment and fit of the retracts. I used CJ's and they only rotate 90 deg so there is a tradeoff between how far forward you want the extended wheel in relation to the wing leading edge (to prevent nose over and proper scale look) and how well the wheel buries in the wing when retracted. I believe the Larger CJ units also only rotate 90 deg.

Considering the importance of this area it's too bad TF didn't make a jig for us to use during this part of the build.

Pete

YES way too many similarites` to call the 2 sizes of T.F. CORSAIRS totaly different.Lots can be done by scaleing up or down to suit the plane,that a person is working on,,,D.B.
