Msouth12 have you flow your corsair yet? "When are we going to see pictures of your plane Marty?" quote from "msouth12" Just kidding. Is the cmp corsair a good candidate for a ys 140? How easy does this plane build and fly?

See ya later man,
Mike

A YS 140 would be fine. The plane can fly decent on a saito 125, so a YS 140 would be a nice boost in performance. AS with any ARF, there are easy parts and some a little trying. I'd suggest right off the bat to go pneumatic instead of trying to outfit it with mechanical retracts.

ORIGINAL: Eifel

I have installed now the Sierra retracts and during the trials they worked very good. Also for the engine I was able to decide which one I like to get. I ordered actually the Laser four stroke 240 V engine. This should be a powerful power source and the onliest engine who fit in the cowl without cutting anything.

I do fly the CMP Corsair now for 3 years with a Laser 240V, prop 3-blade 16x10.
Last year I have stripped the model and upgraded it to more scale.

regards,
Jan

Thanks to your photos I have just been out and ordered the cmpro corsair.One question what retracts did you use (part no)as I have heard so many horror stories about these units.

Hi Vasek and Bobbase,

I am using the mechanical retracts of Kenner Germany.

http://www.einziehfahrwerk.de/

But perhaps, the new electric Lado retracts for the Hangar 9 Corsair, will fit too, are they strong enough for the heaviar and larger CMP Corsair? I am very curious about this!

kind regards,
Jan

Many thanks I aquatic
Differant question I have just taken delievery of my corsair today and they are now shipping with the decals(wrong colour )already applied. Does anybody know how to get the damm things off without damaging to much of the paintwork as I have a lot of weathering to do.

hello dutch . i am also using the retracts that you have , and they are not good at all. i had to re work them so they will not turn on landind or take off. as i red most of the posts for the cap i think the searias are better for the corsair , better quality.
