Easily one of, if not the nicest, Corsairs I have seen. Outstanding job, as usual, Mike. Are we on for the maiden this week?

Hey Mike,

Sweet bird! Awesome job as usual. Good luck with the Maiden and wish you a fun filled trip to the Nall[sm=bananahead.gif]. Was great to see you at Top Gun if only for a brief bit!

The big Jug got a lot of interest at Top Gun. Several guys took a trip too the shop and had a peak at it. Can't wait to start that one.

Kindest Regards,

Scott

I flew the Corsair this week and it was good. The plane flew great needed little trim and the cg was right on. Had trouble with the gear not coming out due to a air leak and tore off all the doors, but its fixed now and we just got to the Joe Nall. Hope to get some good flights in this week. Also I have contacted Jim Tobul, He is the the son of Joe Tobul. I told him I was doing a 1/5 scale version of his dads plane and he was touched. He's supposed to be sending me some photos when he gets back from a trip he's on. Mike
