this is what it looks like when your rx fails on down wind. when i say the rx fails i dont mean go into fail safe i mean the rx stops working and it wont rebind after the fact. its a total loss. but now i have a h9 mustang on order to do the same power and prop with. i got 140mph with the corsair should be able to get faster with the mustang

KIrk,
Thanks for your info on adding micro gallons when you glass.
Years back I used to add them to the K&B primer that I used and the surface before sanding would look like Stucco. After a few rounds of sanding however the surface would be unbelievably smooth and hard. I might try your method with using Varathane on my next project as it seems to offer the best of both worlds, epoxy and water base...
Thanks
paul

Ok Greg-
I would have sworn you glassed and painted it ! You just took a nice looking ARF and made it look much more scale in my opinion. I didn't even know you could spray lustrecote over the ultracote. I wonder how durable the clear will be about not wanting to peel when the covering sags some ?
Thanks-Mike

I have put masking tape on it for a little bit and it doesn't get pulled off when i remove the tape so it's pretty durable.

Kirk,
I had planned on doing the same thing you are doing with glassing and then covering the rib area with fabric. But then i realized it was just an ARF and i didn't want to invest that much time into something i really didn't build.
Yours should look sharp though. I can't wait to see the final result,it could just force me to strip this one anyway.

Chris i only added the bazillion rivets after a year of flying the Carf P-47 because i just wasn't satisfied with the way it looked..
Sooooooo maybe by next year i will change my mind on the corsair and turn it into a scale winning contestant.
