You are right Zeeb… I didn't use due diligence, but I assumed people on here had done theirs and had it right… Thanks...

I'm still waiting for my scale wheels too.

You must be lucky! I have those on backorder for 3 months now....

My bad. I misread jzunigas post. I'm still waiting for my scale wheels. Just received my landing gear.

I have found with the Corsair you just need to put it on backorder and wait till it comes in. I backordered my 7 cylinder and mine was shipped but they never showed coming into stock. I think the backorders are so large they are not even getting enough in to meet demands. I heard the wheels are actually being held up with the tires themselves.

I have everything for mine now just need to finish it up. I am installing all the gear doors now, time consuming, but easier than I thought.

I am still up in the air about leaving it Gloss Blue or doing the blue camoflage with weathering. After a few more steps I am going to have to commit one way or the other.

At advantage hobby you need to place the order after you receive in stoc notification mail. The wheels are the only part I'm missing. But I have purchase some dubro 5" wheels for testing and door fitting. Actually I can fly with those too.

The instructions were wrong in the Super Cub too and they put out an addendum

Nav lights have been the same on planes or boats since....well since forever I think.

I received my wheels from Horizon last month

My Feedback: (73)

All the main parts for my Corsair I purchased directly from Horizon, obviously the standard items I purchased here and there, but Horizon will allow you to place stuff on backorder.


I am using the MPI MAXX navigational lights in mine, bought them for another project that didn't happen so we will see how they look in the Corsair.

Thanks guys… I know how full scale planes nav lights are sided ( I fly MD11's for a living), I have seen several pics on this corsair and read the instructions, and thought I was missing something? It must be mistakes by others and a mistake in the H9 instructions (pg 75 step 3) that threw me off.

BTW, still nothing on the wheels, any ideas from anyone in the know with Horizon? H9?

Cristian2fast4you

The H9 instructions end at page 63...

I want one, I want one....I want one........is Horizon the best place to order it? I guess I will just backorder the thing and wait my turn!

My mentor and old flying pal the late great Capt'n Dick Kaiser (ret Eastern Airline Pilot) flew the F4U-5 in Korea off of the USS Boxer. I have been a Corsair fan since I was a kid watching Baa Baa Blacksheep.

I do not mind the gloss blue paint, as I want to make it look like the one I would own if I was super rich..it would be glossy and waxed with a diaper!

Online manual? well whatever the page, the section on the lights...

I just looked in the hardcopy, and you are right! The instructions are wrong. I didn't notice, because I mounted lights as I know they are.

Any wing issues coming up? I heard a rumor that a few have had some wing failures near the center section?

MANFRED

My Feedback: (27)

The center section is one piece composite and very stout

Maybe you're thinking of the ESM 50cc version? I have seen posts on problems with their center section ...

Casey

Nope

I remember seeing something back on page 17 where one of the corsairs was lost due to the wing dowels coming loose. There was a recommendation to cut out a set of holes above the dowels in the center section and apply extra glue to ensure they stay put, but that's all i've heard on problems with the center section. It seems really stout as Manfred stated. Main spar is laminated and about an inch thick, and the glass work seems fairly strong. Capt, what issues have you heard about with the center section? Failure at the wing dowels, failure at the outer panel attachments? I'm curious...

I did notice on mine, there is about a 3/32" gap between the center section and front of the fuse when the wing is seated and tightened down. I believe I am going to fill that gap in so there is minimal chance of movement of the center section during flight. Thoughts? Anyone else find this condition with their model?

Thanks

6# heavier & $270 more than the Top Flite? No thanks.

As far as appearance. That's subjective. i like the earlier flat blue color scheme of the TF version much better & some flat dove gray sprayed on the bottom would improve it even more.

I guess I don't understand why guys hang around forum threads making comments not really pertinent to the thread and knocking the model in question? What'd you do, buy the TopFlite and now you're trying to make yourself feel better????

If you haven't bought the TopFlite, why don't you do so and participate in the huge thread here on RCU for that model?????
