BobH,

I have taken a dirty scuff pad to the plane to help high light some of the details and to give it just a slight dirty effect. Hope it's up to your satisfactions now. Lol!!!
I just don't want it to be a dirty mess..

On my monitor I can see the aft rivets better.. Not sure if its just the camera angle or what but looks fine

Greg,
A possible video of the maiden? That would be nice to see.
I've seen Scott Prosen's WC.. great flying plane!

Just curious, where did your color pattern come from?

BobH,
I'll see what i can do about a video,but i'm usually so involved with making sure everything is working properly, that a video is the last thing on my mind.

Hydro Junkie,
My color scheme came from a 3 veiw rendering that i found online. The nose art is still being made.

Okay, just never seen one with that paint scheme before. I've always liked the mid-war three tone Pacific paint scheme myself

That's the camo scheme that was used in the Atlantic. The Wildcats operated from CVE's, protecting convoys and hunting U-Boats.

So I discovered. In all actuality, if it weren't for the greater weight and landing speed of the Hellcat and the initial visibility issues with the Corsair, making them unsuitable for use on the CVEs(or carriers in general with the Corsair), the Wildcat would have gone out of production before the end of 1942.

Bough a used Wildcat and did my remaiden yesterday. Flew extremely well and was quite more floater than expected. The Moki 215 works good but got 140 degrees Celsius and I think that is well above what I like so need a baffling modification.

After spending a month trying to figure out the reason for my Moki not to run in this plane.

I can finally say that i was able to get it figured out and got 3 very successful test flight put on it Today.

Congratulation Greg on successful maidens...

Your Wildcat is great, I have opportunity to see live Scot Prossen same F4F and that is some of best warbirds I ever see.
Wish you many good flights and enjoyment with new toy.

Hi Greg-
What ended up being the problem with the Moki ?

Greg Wright

My Feedback: (6)

I didn't have enough exit opening at the cowl flap area's to get the heat out fast enough. So i just kept adding 1/4inch spacers to the motor mount and cowl mounts until it got happy. It ended up needing an additional 1/2 inch added
and a bit of chamfering done to the fire wall to get it right. And yes the paint has been repair on the fuselage already.

Very nice. The Moki sounds great and seems to have plenty of power.

Thanks ED!!!

The Moki is way more power than what the plane really needs as it only weights in at around 50 Pounds.
