Default Just another Top Flight Corsair

Corsair Delima: Scale or Not

OK guys, I have an idea. Let's don't rely on the manufacturers for our next Corsair project. How about someone here on RCU who believes they can do it produce a set of exact scale F4U Corsair plans we can all build. This might be fun. I always say if you don't like something the way it is change it or
make it suit your needs. A full scale subject would be a great place to start. Let's keep this plan at the T/F GE 60 size to be fair of the criticized subject.

With little or no head wind the T/F War Birds are very difficult to fly at scale speeds, so this will really be a challenge with a true to scale subject. Building techniques will need to be shared also as weight will be a crucial factor.

The radial engine will really be a challenge to build, not to mention the landing gear and the instruments in the cockpit...
JUST KIDDING!!!


Keep 'Em Flying
