Status: offline 		I just thought of sharing some pictures of my Corsair build which started in august 2006
This is my first 120 size warbird I build. But before anyone comments on the wheel direction, I know they are facing the wrong way. Got them fixed right already

Status: offline 		I'm not very good in explaining in detail about my build unlike some of the great build threads here in RCU, but if anyone has any question about my build I'll be glad to explain it.

Status: offline 		This warbird was supposed to have maiden many times before but there were always somthing not right that stoped me from flying. It was the rain, or the grass was too long... bla bla bla. But 2 weeks ago, our group drove up to Malaysia to a Micro Lite flying area with a great long runway and thats where I maiden my bird!

Status: offline 		So how did the flight go? I had heard cmp retooled this plane and was wondering about the fiberglass on the wing, how is it holding up. Retract rails strong enough and cg location?
Edwin

edit- Nice job, looks good. You ARE gonna fix those wheels arent you!!

Status: offline 		The flight went well. Much better than expected. The landing was very nice and slow without the flaps. But this was because there was good wind on that day. The standard mount for the retract was weak as usual but after reading that allot of guys modify the mount on their CMPro planes, I did the same from the start. I cut the retract ray out and epoxied plywood to area. Now its really strong.

The wing feels solid and the finishing is nice Matt look to. I had the old silver cmp P47 and the fuse was really soft and the wing wrinkles allot under the sun. I gave up on CMP until I saw the improvements they did on the newer planes. My and my buddy just got the 140 P40 and I got the 120 zero and it looks fantastic!

Yes I did! Actually only just now when I had time.

Status: offline 		I actuall moved the retract forward a bit to try to prevent nose over when landing.

This was my first robart retract and I made the wheels to retract a bit too slow. So on the maiden flight, I had had a huge problem to get them down and locked. I tried opening and closing, flying in a bouncing manner in the air trying to get it down. NO luck. Realised that it could be because it tuned to slow and in addition this (pic) was not helping either. So I closed the retract. Then just before I did a stall turn I engaged the retract. Did another fly by and it was locked and good for landing.

Status: offline 		I've got the zero too. Its pretty much finished except for retracts. Waiting on money and time for that one so its sitting out of the way for now. I repainted mine cause the finish was chipping off too much. Its powered by a saito 180. I also have the spitfire. It flys pretty good and scale on a saito 120.
