While all this epoxy and glass was setting up I decided I also wanted to add a "Fun" element to this H9 CORSAIR... hmmmm
Oh yes I have one of those Vortac Bomb Release Mechanisms (you can now get a similar one thru yellowaircraft)...
So I installed the VORTAC Bomb Release ....
I decided I wanted it to be an easy install and also easy to service should I need to... so..
I unscrewed the fiberglass belly pan...Measured for Centerline and drew a line... Got the Vortac Mechanism in my hand and lined it up on the forward most point on the Belly Pan...I ONLY made holes for the screws to mount and TWO SEPERATE SLOTS for the Vortac "control horns" to pass thru the Belly pan.. I added thin ply for the screws to bite into... I also applied thin CA to the Center Wing Screw holes to harden them up and added lite ply to the only 2 screws that are visible on the center section for added "bite" for the screws...
Next I got a Hitec Mini Servo and mounted it to a wood plate and added a balsa shim...Checked for clearance and decided best area would be in front of the wing bolt mounting plate...with some Thick CA and some luck got it installed..
Added a 2/56 rod and plastic clevis and adjusted the travel at the servo with my Futaba Computer Radio...
Next tightened everything up and Viola' Instant Bombing Run Capable Corsair...
I also have other "ordinance" I can carry as I am installing Vortac Release clips to them so they can be released at will!! ... It is gonna be FUN!!!!
