Default RE: 1/6 F4U Corsair

hi all...

I didn't post much of the progress on my Corsair because there were many drawbacks... I had to remove all the bellcranks and Sullivan pushrods to place servos in the wing right behind flaps and ailerons... I had major drawbacks with system used and I couldn't get servo to move flaps completely to up position... Flaps stopped a few millimeters below desired position and servo was just pushing and pulling, but nothing happened... There was no binding in linkages and I was careful with geometry, copied all from plans... So I cut everything off and started to make servo holders to place servos behind flaps and ailerons...

I believe that those things come from my inexperience with big birds like 1/6 Corsair (bent wings don't help, either... )... I only built free flight gliders in primary school (along with kit built FW 190A, which was destroyed by my teacher), so this is my first big project...

The bottom line is that I won't give up...

more (+ pictures) tomorrow...

cheers,

Robert
