Default RE: H9 Corsair flaps


ORIGINAL: Flight 21

Hey Craig,

Looking great. Where did you get your pilot? Thanks...

Thanks, John. I went with the 1/9 US WWII Pilot by Hangar 9.
http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=HAN8315 H9 makes 1/7 and 1/9 scale US WWII pilots. I calculated the H9 Corsair fuselage is roughly 1/7.75 scale. Even though 1/7.75 is closer to 1/7 than is 1/9, I went with the 1/9 scale because that size H9 pilot seemed to match pilot size in full scale Corsair photos better. I don't know why that is. Maybe the H9 1/9 scale pilot is actually bigger than 1/9 scale, or the photos of full scale Corsairs that I used for reference had shorter than average pilots piloting them.
