Hi Guy's First on my new Corsair I had to cut up the dummy engine to allow for the starter gears. only had to remove the center hub and 3 cylinders. It takes away from the scale look of the plane.
Now to the event full day. I already had a successful flight on my sport plane, a 30 cc MXS-R. The range check went with out a hitch. So I started up the Corsair and taxied out. Took off to the west circled back to the east
and was heading west. Got half way down the field and it took a nose dive for no reason. Had nothing. It was like I had given the stick full down. Salvaged what I could. So for the first minute it looked promising. As to why it went in I have no idea. I'm now using JR equipment. And have had another friend look over the set up so I'm hoping not to re-pete last years flight. So that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
