Default RE: 1/8 scale TopFlite Corsair Mods

Hi all, new but I have been monitoring for months. Getting ready to do my girl so I decided to join in.

If I may, this is for those are now doing their Corsair.
Your answer to retracts is Sierra Precision.. take a look at the way they are made.. price is not much more but for safety, is it really an issue? The strut is already incorporated and the trunion is metal and I talked to Darrell how they clamp down.. there will be no turning here. These are what I will be installing. http://www.sierraprecision.com/prod30.html
Also, for sequencing I have found and put them on my TF T-34.. they are amazing, completely timed for scale movement(or at least close to it). http://www.up-1.com/
Delivery was quick and they have it all.

I am putting a RCV 120sp in mine.. turning scale prop. I cant do that engine out of the cowl especially with all the mods to be done here to make her scale..
Take a look at this: If you want to see some great engineering. I have tried to get another run but there has to be enough need for Wayne at Soloprops to make them in 1/8 size.
