Default RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

Dave, Thanks! I'll see what I can do about the cable. It worked real well within the limits of it's use, the first time I ever needed to use the remote tool.

I'm not sure about the tail door actuation yet. If I do air cylinders on the wing, I'll get some for back there too and get a sequencing valve for the doors and gear. If I settle on mechanical, I'll do a spring loaded compression plate like Todd Burley's P40 build thread shows or a hard connect like Dave shows. I'll have to think about it while I do some other stuff and see what I settle on.

There is enough room for a mico servo or two to operate them, which could be slaved to the retract channel to operate the tail doors as well. Can't imagine the weight would be too much problem with the micro servo.
