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

Pete,Dave, Mike, or any one with frist hand knowlage..

I have a "Stans" cowl and the cowl flaps are particaly open, I finaly got enough done on the fuse to put the cowl up to it, THE PROBLEM it looks like I will not get enough cooling with the flaps as set. Can they be cut and opened?? If so how?? just saw and bend, how do you suport?? I will have the dummy radial up front with the same cutout as I had on my frist build, and I only needed cowl flaps from 3 o'clock to 9 to get the cooling needed.. also what is the correct angle for fully open flaps??
