RE: Building a Top Flite GE 1/8 scale F4U Corsair

NCIS did you use fiberglass cloth on those flaps as well as z-poxy? Also how are you going to cover the rudder and elevator with all those open ribs assuming your fiberglassing the whole plane? That...

RE: Building a Top Flite GE 1/8 scale F4U Corsair

shanghai_fool thanks for the tank pressure limits. That makes me feel better. I wonder why tower specs it @100psi?

RE: Building a Top Flite GE 1/8 scale F4U Corsair

RE: Building a Top Flite GE 1/8 scale F4U Corsair
