thnx for the suggestions. one thing tho is that i do not have loads of money hanging around that i can buy 2 planes. and ill be going to college with in the next 2 years and i need all the cash i can get also that leaves very little time to build and fly two airplanes enjoyably. so i guess im asking, Do you think that a person like me can effectivly build a corsair?
I understand what you are saying here, Iput myself through school too. But the issue here is that if you try to build an advanced kit without learning the skill needed it's a good chance that theplane isn't going to survive. Or maybe not even finished as building an advanced kit can be frustrating to experienced builders, and a beginning builder might just give up completely. And if either of these happen then you're really just throwing that money away because the plane is a loss.
You ask if Ithink a person like you can build a corsair. Without firsthand knowledge Iwould honestly say that Ivery seriously doubt it. It goes back to my previous post. Building an advanced kit takes skills that can only be developed by experience. I know that sounds harsh, but that is not my intentions. I'm just laying it out honestly so that you have on illusions or misconceptions. For me to sit here and pump up somebody with false hope only hurts that person because then they think they can do something that they really can't do. I hope you understand that Iam only trying to help you. I do want you to successfully build and fly the Corsair. But you have to do all the steps to get there.
Have you contacted a local club?Many times clubs will have buidlers that will be more than happy to sit down with you and teach you how to build. It might be a way for you to get the skills and experience you need without spending a ton of cash.
