Good for you! I am interested in seeing how they turned out doing them without a mill.

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

Relax,

There will always be plans and wood. Thats all you need if you can't get a kit. Laser cutters aren't going anywhere in the next 20 years so if you have a plan of a Warbird you want to...

OK Bob,

Here is one. I am starting to build the wing tip panels and need to know if there is and angle gauge for dihedral. Here is what I found in the kit and it seems to match the picture in...

It's on this forum under two different threads. Just look for NCIS and Corsair.

My user name is Gibbs not Gibb. Could you correct it for me please. I am getting back to work on the TFGS Corsair real soon.

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

I already have the 3305's in another plane I was going to take them out of. Since yesterday I have done some thinking and am probably going to go with HS-645MG servos. I'll just have to wait to buy...

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

Send me those 2 cents because if people keep making their own canopy rails I won't be able to afford the hobby. I use all the money I make from them to support my addiction.:)

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

The 3305's are rated at 124oz. at 6V and are metal gears. The Twist 150 has a 1.50 Saito glow 4 stroke in it.

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

I'm going to trade them out for the Futaba 3305 servos I have in my Twist 150. The 635's were in a FuntanaX 100 for one flight and I didn't like the plane. I will just put them in my Twist 150 and...

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

Has anyone used Hitec's HS-635HB servos with the Karbonite gears in their Corsair? They produce 83oz inch at 6 Volts. I have heard good and bad about these and I have 5 new ones lying around that I...

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

Good luck and I hope it works out. But I'm always here if it doesn't meet your standards. Just make sure you put oil on the top of the tube before you try to cut it. Don't use a regular drill bit...

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

Good luck on getting them perfect. A dremel on a table is no substitute for a horizontal mill with a perfect 3/32" cut bit. It is exactly the same on each side and I'm talking thousands of an inch...

Nice Thunderbolt.

Isn't anyone making sliding canopies on their TF GS Corsairs anymore? Right now I have Winter Build Season prices. Save money.

Look to see where it is becaue there is a Byron Corsair fanatic constantly repairng them. I would say he is the one to ask questions. I think his user name is Check6 or something close.

I have been wondering how to glue the center sections LE onto the ribs and the dowel plate. I don't like the idea of only gluing the four R-1 & 2 ribs and ley it dry. If I do that how do I glue the...

Nick,

I never thought of removing those ribs to build my wheel wells. I was keeping them for strength. I didn't think they would be in the way of the actual wheel well opening anyway. I am...
