Gary - Do you think your cowl flap system will work on the Birdcage Corsair? You know the one.

Hello Galen. Good to here from you. I believe the principle will work on that model. The parts would need to be scaled down, and smaller servos would probably be necessary. As long as the top two cowl flaps are fixed closed, as in all but the very early prototypes, you have a place to put the servos. It works best with two.

I had a computer failure a while back, and lost much of my older pictures including the ones of that airplane. Otherwise, I may be able to be more specific. I know for sure that it would take a smaller version of what I make for the CARF.
