Hi Guys I've been lurking too, and finishing up another project before starting this one. I've got pretty much everything but the pilot and the paint, and I'm not sure about what hubs I'll use for my mains. I just got the new Air Classics, and they have a great spread on a FG1D Corsair. Definitely the scheme I'm going to finish mine in. Still haven't figured the muffler yet for my G62. Should be starting to post progress here in a few weeks. Keep up all the good work everyone! Sam

Thanks Bob,
When I type that number in it comes up to the $10 gift coupon, but it still lists the plane as Discontinued. This is really frustrating. I hope that Top Flite is taking notes and will give us all a break again.

The only outher way that I kniw to possibly locate is, Go to top flite' web page , Then it will ask you for your zip code, then it will list all of the local hobby shops that might have.

Well after reading what every said about getting a mold for gear doors. I will post pic's at the end of the discription
HEAR IS WHAT I DID
Extra rib's and framing to make the square wheel well, then sheeted and did the layout, Note as there is no refferance for doors on the plans except the strut. I used the robart assy and wheel to give me the size,and location. Then I wanted a mold of the wing surface with the lay out. I put the smallest silk pin heads in each corner of all lines, covered with monocote, made a plaster mold I got vary small tix from the pin heads redrew lines with a scribe point and cleaned them with a #2 pencel vary fine point. cut out lower serface to the lines, monted gear assy..

When I built my first T/F G/S Corsair I did not pay much attentionto whare the axel was in relation to the leading edge, but I did not have strut or wheel well doors, the stock build puts the front end of the retract frame and the axel nut above the lower surface. On theis build I had to shave the beams allmost 3/16 to get everything inside the inside of the sheeting.
Now my question the axel is 35/64 behind the leading edge. Am I going to have nose over problems with this set up??

That looks perfect to me. Keep this in mind when installing gear. The further forward the gear axle is located in relation to the CG the less chance you have of nosing over, the down side is that it will have more of a tendency to ground loop. Ever seen a warbird landing and as it starts to slow the pilot runs out of rudder as the plane swings around? That is a symptom of poor axle location. When the axle is closer to the CG you will have a tendency to nose over but your ground handling and directional control will be much better. The trick is to find the sweet spot, your gear look very close to the scale location, I think it will do great.
