Cristian2fast4youI don't think that the 22x10 3 blade will work. The diameter usually goes down when adding a blade and normally the pitch needs to increase. The radials will work well with a 3 blade but the problem I have found is finding a good 3 blade prop with the correct diameter and enough pitch. I think to get good performance and speed out of the combination you will need a 20 or 21" 3 blade prop with around 14" of pitch maybe even 16.... I have not found that prop to try yet unless you want to spend the money for a Solo. They make great props and I think that you could get a good working solution with that prop because it is adjustable.
I come back to you, if you don't mind, for a sugested pitch as I contacted Xoar and they can do a custom prop for me. So, it will be a 3 blade 21". But what pitch do you think I should use, 14 or 15?
Thank you again,
Cristian

Flew the maiden on my corsair Sat. All went well. I am using a DA 60 for power. It is way over powered but I think it will be great. I added two pounds of steel shot to the cowl to balance.
Note to all, add reinforce not to the cowl mounts. I don't know what the adhesive us they used but it is very brittle and the mount cracked apart. I used hysoled to regular mine.
The plane flys well and need very little trim It may need just a bit more nose weight but I added a TBM 3 bladed prop and spinner. It is adjustable to 20x14. It will add nose weight. I will reeval balance next flight.
Think it will be a fun plane just hope it is durable enough

Just ordered mine with all the whistles and yo yos including one of the evolution 7-77 radials. I can not wait to get started on this project..I will be stripping the model, glassing and painting, adding full lights with scale landing light, payload drop ect..it's going to be built for the Advanced class of the US Scale Masters. My goal will be to qualify with it this upcoming year.
i will post my build here for those interested can follow. This will be my first advanced class build and hope to learn a lot and do well with it. I'm sure I will be asking questions along the way as well

I'm pretty pumped about it..I did speak with Darrell from Sierra and will be getting his gear for the Corsair as well when available....I am on the list!!
But out first thing is first and I need to get on my documentation...maybe I can get a little help from you Chad? I have a couple of paint schemes in mind but the 3-view needs to be the right one and there are so many different ones!
Thanks for for the support guys! Like I said, I'm very pumped about this new bird and the build.
its always a pleasure getting to fly and hang with you Chad, it was a great time..I need rivets!! Lots and lots of rivets!! Haha

Greeting from Australia. First time ever writing on a forum. I am building the Hangar 9 corsair with a 77 radial. Just wondering if any one had issues with the flaps. They seem to fit but when they are hard up against the trailing edge the gap between the inner and middle flap is on an angle, not parallel . I can get them parallel if I move one side of both flaps away from the trailing edge of the wing leaving a gap at the hinge.
Just wondering if anyone else has come across this, any replies would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Jarrod, can you provide a picture? The flaps align fine, the only issue (for me) is that they need alot of force, even if I used a 13 kg servo. I'm changing now for 2 servo setup.

Jarrod,
It does state in the instruction that it may be necessary to redrill the holes for the hinges to correct alignment. I did it for the same reason that you are seeing

Advise to all. Reinforce the firewall. I was running up engine after having only two flights without incident and a few other runnup and the firewall pulled right out. the wood is classic chinese ply and the glue is very brittle. I have quite a job ahead to repair and have pretty much destroyed cowl.
Very much concerned on the ability of model to sustain vibration of a 60 sized engine,

Scott this is very disturbing to hear, especially on a kit costing a grand. I think if this pans out to be a workmanship issue, Horizon/hanger 9 should compensate or perhaps recall all the kits. This is a serious issue considering some guys are putting $1200 motors in them. I have the DA-60 for mine. Horizon needs to step forward on this one or risk losing their ability to charge as much as they do for kits like this. The firewall and adjoining fuse section should be the stoutest part of this ship.

I don't know if you did this, but I was going to coat outside/inside of firewall and joints with 30 minute epoxy. The tail wheel joints look suspect too. I was going to coat those tailwheel joints accordingly. Main landing gear mounts looked fairly robust, but did coat with epoxy. Decided to paint my tail gear white:
