Default RE: CARF F4U-1 Corsair build thread

I just looked at a photo of the XF4U, and it has the door on the port side in contradiction with the published drawing I referenced. I'm learning good stuff here!

The other little tid-bit I just picked up about the Corsiar that is painted as Big Hog at the Navy Yard Museum in DC is that is may not be a Vought F4U-1, but a Goodyear FG1-1D. The author of The Vought F4U Corsair, A Comprehensive Guide makes this assertion based on the position of the wing pylons.
