Default Kyosho Corsair

Widow Driver,
I've been flying flying mine with an O.S. 52 and reworked my 4060 Hobbicos with thicker threaded rod on the rotation bar(the bar that force the 90 degree turn and hold the wheel straight when down).

Regretably, after 70+ flights, I crashed mine late June on a stalled takoff. I got over confident and paid the price. I've since bought a new one.I went with a 65 size motor this time for the weight up front and am reusing my modified 4060's. The same slight mismatch of color is evident but a nonfactor.

I considered the world models and Giant Scale Planes versions but setttled on the Kyosho again. World models version is too standoff with it's long nose tiny wheels and no panel lines. Giant Scale's version too big for me( transporting and storing from small apartment)I never took the wing off my Kyosho in nearly two season's.
