RE: newbie question

Sounds to me like the prop is cavatating. Try lowering the strut ( if you can ) a little bit. If the strut can`t be lowered, you might have to make a cavatation plate and mount it to the transom. I...

RE: Atlas conversion

It had a flex cable. I can`t remember how it happened, but the cable got trashed. I`ll have to order a new one. I still have the stuffing box, strut, rudder, and turn fin. If memory serves correct, I...

I have an atlas van lines hydro (1982 model?) probably a dumas kit. With all the progress made in electrics, I thought of converting it to electric power. I have very little experience in electric...

RE: 1/4 Scale F4U-1A Don Smith Plans Build

Barry, RACK is correct. That much servo is on the over kill side. Remember, the corsair is ery sensitive on elevator, and with that much rudder area, I`ll bet it`s very effective too. I`ll bet that...

RE: 1/4 Scale F4U-1A Don Smith Plans Build

Barry, how maney square inches of aileron are we talking about? 165 inches is definately a stout servo. I used to know the formula to figure out how much presure is on a serface at a given velocity,...

RE: 1/4 Scale F4U-1A Don Smith Plans Build

NCIS, Your bird is really starting to take shape. I hope the maiden goes good for you. If all goes well, do you think you would compete in the mint julip? I live about 40 miles from the airport...

RE: Yet another t/f corsair

7/6/08. I`ve decided to make a removable hatch from F-9, all the way back to the end of the fuse. Now i will be able to service the tail wheel and retract, as well as make adjustments to the rudder...

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

Tessex, When you finally get around to that skyolt you mentioned, don`t skimp on the power. I have one and i`ll be the first to admit, if the weight is kept resonable, a good .60 will fly it fine. ...

RE: Yet another t/f corsair

Snurckle, Glad to hear of your planed build. I`ll be glad to answer any question you have. As far as the t/f kit goes, plan your mods as far in advance as you can. I wrote notes in the manual to...

RE: 1/4 Scale F4U-1A Don Smith Plans Build

D. Jackson, In the last picture you posted there is a jet setting behind your corsair. If so, what kit was that from and how well does it fly? NCIS, How big ( dia. & pitch ) is the solo prop that...

RE: 1/4 Scale F4U-1A Don Smith Plans Build

NCIS, Regardless of whether or not the fork shows, unless you plan on competing in scale competition, i don`t see where it will make a big differance. If you are really considering comp. then i think...

RE: 1/4 Scale F4U-1A Don Smith Plans Build

RWRIGHT, Thans for the info, I`m sure it`ll come in handy. As for me though, I`m planning a trip up to my home town ( Michigan City In ). That`s only about 20 miles from Volpo. As i said, I know the...

RE: Yet another t/f corsair

Tommy, I think i`ll sty with the single servo idea. The flex-rods don`t have as much of a bend in them as the photo makes it look. The whole system is pretty tight ( slop free ), and i want to keep...

RE: 1/4 Scale F4U-1A Don Smith Plans Build

Instead of using carbon tubes, how about using a plane piece of typing paper. Roll it up, slide it through the holes in the ribs and let it unwind to fit snug in the holes, add a couple of drops of...
