RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

Well unless I take the sheeting of the lower bottome end of the wing tip guess I'll just have to maybe cut the wing tip off and maybe shim a little and make her a little wider for the wingspan?

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

Bob do you think a G45 will fly the TF GS Corsair. I don't want to bust the clouds but thats all I have on hand and I dont want to use one of my US 41s on it cause I'm saving them for my Zeroli B-25.

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair
