RE: Dynaflite Corsair 40 progress
Her's mine (the one in front). It has a Great Planes Corsair cowl (available from Tower for about $10), modified Hobbico mechanical rotating retracts, and Saito .50 for power (.56 wasn't available when I bought kit).
It has well over 1,000 flights, was my 1st warbird, and flew absolutely GREAT! I still have it, but it could stand a re-build (too much pilot abuse). I highly recommend ANY of the old DynaFlite funscale warbird kits as a 1st warbird. The have some of the flying characteristics of the more scale warbirds, but but are still easy to fly. Great for the transistion (sport to warbird).
