Cool,

What is the size of your Corsair?

Building this yourself?

@scale_only_4_me thanks for the link! but i was thinking along the lines of electric instead of hydraulics cause the model i'm making requires it to be as light as possible. and it's not so big as the model corsair.

Well,

What are you building? Seeing the wing would help.

Size, weight?

Photos?
