RE: Corsair Kit Building "Lessons Learned"
I second most everybody else here. IF your wings and the fuse a straight IE not visably warped when standing a couple of feet away from it it will fly. (even if it is warped that bad you can still sometimes fix it) You said before most your mistakes are cosmetic they can prob be fixed or hidden with a little bit of work or just left alone since the are cosmetic right? If you have dents, bulges or uneven curves in your shetting they can be fixed with spot n' glaze or bondo (yes I know) Or get some help from and experinced builder to help fix some of your mistakes. Sand it smooth and put the covering on tight, these are great looking planes and even an average or mediocre effort will still look quite good. If it looks better than Hanger 9 or GP Corrsair ARF considered your building a success if not fly it anyway and do better on the next one.
