A note I just received from Banana Hobby about Viper 2.0 parts…

Regrettably, the mold for 2.0 G1 has been damaged, making it impossible for Pilot-RC to manufacture its parts.

This airframe has the number 73 written on a piece of tape and is on every piece. I am told that this is not the serial number. Kinda frustrating 🤷🏻‍♂️

RE: painting my zero

NICE! Is the deck behind the cockpit supposed to be blue-black as well? (just the part under the canopy). You going with the Mitsubishi scheme or Nakajima?

RE: 1/6 Scale F4U Corsair Group Build

The flap chord will dictate the rear spar location. The rear spar location is critical to the tire when retracted. The chord length on the plan is correct from what I can tell.
As for the lofting...

RE: 1/6 Scale F4U Corsair Group Build

Scott,
Can you provide dimensions on the wheel you are working on? 5.25 dia is prob OK. The width needs to be 1.3 or less at the widest part of the tire, not the rim.

Thanks!

RE: 1/6 Scale F4U Corsair Group Build

Found (stumbled would be a better description) the scale location of the main spar. Its at 30% which should place the front face of the spar at 5.25 inches from the leading edge.

RE: 1/6 Scale F4U Corsair Group Build

Yes I agree on both items! The data I have states the theoretical tip is 9% or a 23009. I am looking for the lofting data for the CV special. I believe it was also used on the vertical stab.
