Default RE: TopFlight Giant Corsair - How Scale is IT??

Fantastic job on the 51! Neither the TF 51 or the Corsair are that close to scale. In view of your obvious building abilities I'd suggest getting a set of plans and parts for the Brian Taylor Corsair from Bob Holman. It's approximately the same size (82" ws) or exact 1/6 scale, and you can't beat a Brian Taylor plan, not only for fidelity to scale, but also just full of "now why didn't I think of that" ways to build. No one I know of makes a scale Corsair tail wheel; however it would make a great "first gear project", and IMHO is a must for a Corsair to look right.
