Default RE: 1/8 scale TopFlite Corsair Mods

CorsairJock,

If it's my TF Corsair crash you're wandering about, I must confess it was my building error. I used a silicone exhaust deflector to exit the exhaust pipe from the cowl. BIG MISTAKE! The hot 4 stroke exhaust gases burned through that deflector, through the firewall, and melted my retract air lines and on/off switch. I was lucky in that the repairs were relatively minor and the plane was saved.

By the way, I incorporated your rounded fuse front, fin and rudder mods, wingtip mod, and simulated exhaust stack mod in that build, along with many others. I knew I definitely needed to use the rounded fuse front mod for airflow to that SP engine. That's an ingenious way of doing it, and practical too!

Thanks for starting this thread many years ago.

Joe
