Status: online 		You know, thats not half bad looking. Sure it's missing the door on the starboard side (actually both sides), and some of the lines ain't exactly scale and some of the bumps are missing, but it sure is looking good. If I was into post WW2 planes, this one would be my first scaleish ARF. I really wish KMP made decent tailwheels & retracts. I've not seen one they have done right yet.

Not sure what they did with those scoops under the cowling though...

This Skyraider is VERY VERY well documented.

Aside from the glass layup methods........

In the rc model world, some models such as the Zero, Typhoon, FW190, Hurricane, ect, AND relatively scale, will most likely need nose ballast to CG properly. Only a few like the p-51
and other inline engine models need less ballast.

Remember the full size airframes had massive engine that made up most of the planes CG.

A lighter off CG model will not come back alive oppose to a heavier properly CGed one.

Yeah that is the problem with 409 as there are quite a few of them out there. The good news is that we have a tail number on the one KMP is doing: 37543.

That one indeed does have the door on it.

Its AD-4NA (A-1D) BuNo. 126882. Easy enough to get the research on this one! The doors should be there.

Status: online 		I have to ask do you blindly support every ARF that comes out? Of course I'm going to get nitpicky.

The reasons are obvious. Its not my fault that you can't see the issues with releasing a kit of a full size plane that is well documented and is missing some of those details. Did I say the model was crap? No, in fact I said that this is one of the only ARF's I would consider if I built post WW2 bird.

Read my posts instead of just assuming.
