RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

Hi Scott, is that a DA50? may I ask what pitch you are thinking of running and what RPM you are expecting? I am also going to be putting a DA50 on my bird.

Ah okay, yes the kit is a gold label, it looks the same as the one listed on towers website. I wil go through the manual over the weekend. This has given me some peace of mind at least.

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

I have just found out that my new corsair is in fact a 9 year old kit. Were there any differences with kits as old as these?

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

Thanks for this info Sam. I'm trying to decide on an engine still. DO you guys think 25lb static thrust is enough for a 30lb bird?

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

Looks really nice. I'm still on page 52 of this thread but slowly getting there.... Can I ask what engine you are using and did you have to add weight to the firewall?

Jared.

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys. First we are going to build a large workbench so we can leave this build on it for the duration of construction.

RE: Help me decide which airplane for an ASP Radial

I am also considering this engine in place of a DA50 to go into a Top Flite GS Corsair. Provided the power is on par with the G62 and it fits in the cowel do you think it would be a good match? I...
