Default RE: CMP conversions

My latest one. CMP 120 Corsair. I added/changed a few things on it. All internal controls for rudder, elevator, and ailerons. I built my own actuator setups for the ailerons.

Wing is a three piece out of the box, I built mine so ends are removable for transportation.

Built my own tail wheel retract and gear doors. Struts for the mains are from parts I had or made. Retubbed and glassed in the wheel wells for larger wheels/tires.

Canopy is hinged, pilot is removable. He hides the kill switch.

Spins an APC 15.75 x 13 x 3, over 1:1 on thrust and speed around 90 per calcs.
Approx 2000 watts right now, with capability of going to 2700 if need be.

Oh and have already designed my own wing system. Will fold/unfold wings, and actuate a movable wing spar to lock them in place once they are folded down.

That will go in AFTER a successful maiden.
