RE: Hits and Misses of H-9 Corsair

We have grass fields as well, but some very dedicated members keep it mowed every week, and often times 2 times a week when it's really growing.

With the grass so short, roll outs on landings...

RE: Hits and Misses of H-9 Corsair

Wonder if this issue went on with everyone else that flew this plane. I'm surprized at the lack of information regarding "tweaks" in this thread if it did.

RE: Hits and Misses of H-9 Corsair

I've had to replace the cowl once, and fix the tail twice due to nose over. This last set up was my last attempt at flying this bird. If things didn't work out well, I was going to trash the plane,...

RE: Hits and Misses of H-9 Corsair

Success. When I was working on fitting the new cowl, I happened to look at the way the engine was mounted. I don't know why I didn't see it before, but there was a definite up and left pitch to the...

RE: Hits and Misses of H-9 Corsair

RE: Hits and Misses of H-9 Corsair
