Default RE: Top Flite Giant Corsair ARF Disappeared.

I also received mine yesterday. So naturally I glued it together with spit to see what it looks like. I too am impressed. One of the things I noticed in the Top-Flite Photos is the low slung tail wheel. It looks totally unnatural so I extended the pivot rod and converted it to electric using a lado retract unit from a spare retract I had. The wheel is the one supplied by Top-Flite and I will replace it with a larger one thus helping it even more. I talked to Robart and they have an electric conversion coming out for the mains. I plan on doing the conversion. They said it would be ready in 30 days-?. The cowl color is off but I have a fiberglass Specialties one for the Top-Flite kit and I will see if it will work.
I'm sure the balsa scale builders will stick their noses up, point and laugh but hey this will be an all around excellent looking and flying corsair. A first class giant scale aircraft!!!!
