Easy Tiger Giant Corsair
Hi guys,I just finished a ET corsair. It weighs 37 lbs ready to go. CG is 5 1/2 inches from the leading edge. Moved all servos up front. Have a Q100 up front on stand offs. Only needed 1 lb weight up front. Put all the retract cans and equip inside the front of the wing. Have any of you flown this bird yet? Any bad flaws ? My wing loading is 51 oz per square foot, which seems in line with a Warbird. Please give me some feedback before the weekend. I would like to maiden her.thanks,Bold Pilot

Hi there,
I haven't flown the plane yet. Took it out a coluple weeks ago and had some problem with the engine. ( Radio interference ) Then I had to send my TX in for repair. Had a problem mounting the main gear. The rails weren't glued in properly. Had to operate on the mid section to fix the problem The tail retract was to heavy and flimsy with the servo mounted to it. I exchanged it for a Robart. Be very careful about the CG. The manual is WRONG. I called ET and got a 5 1/2/ " distance from the owner. I really don't see anything to worry about. I am waiting for my TX back from Horizon. I hope it is on the way. I have 4 ET planes and like them all. The owner has been very good to deal with as far as I'm concerned. I have heard other people complain about him but I give him a thumbs up.
