Thanks. Mine is flying great. I noticed the skin on the center section was softening in the sun so I filled the down wing area in the front with spray foam insulation. That has work very well.

Earl Aune has a great tail wheel for this plane (74") and the large ESM Corsair. They are not inexpensive but they give your plane that unique Corsair tail wheel. Here is mine installed. Don't worry...

Alf-

Peter those are good suggestions. I have both the 72" and the 85" ESM Corsairs as well as the B-25. On all of my center sections I have used masking tape to tape over the holes on one side of the...

I do not think you will be disappointed with the new Century Jet electrics. I have been flying the Sierra pneumatic gear in my Corsair for a year and they work great. I helped with the design of the...

I also have my CG at 4.5" and I needed 1 click of up elevator to fly level. That was a pleasant surprise because my ESM Spitfire and B-25 needed a lot of down elevator as well as my...

RE: ESM F4U Build

Speedpro-
It seems to me that it had to be speed related because when I slowed the plane to about 1/3 throttle the flaps worked great and the plane was very stable all the way to the ground. I love...

RE: ESM F4U Build

Well I had my maiden flight this week and all in all it was rather uneventful except for the snap roll, three spins and recovery about 50 feet from the ground. Luckily I had my good friend John...

RE: ESM F4U Build

Casey-
I used a flat DuBro nylon hinge to attach the gear door to the leading edge of the wing. I then epoxied a brass tube (1/16" dia. I think), 3 3/8" inches down the door on the back side. You...

Don't adjust anything built into the firewall. Both of mine flew great with no adjustments.

That is the one that I installed. I had to cut away the last former and put a new one in further forward to get the tailwheel to fit. Mine works great and yes it did not add a lot of...

RE: ESM F4U Build
