John....did you get the OS ? I don't know what it is about Corsair's,
....they seem to have about the lowest survival rate of any model
ever built....[X(]

Dave.

Dave, I did get the pumper. Bought it from Tower because they offer a discount if you spend over a certain amount of money. It's supposed to be some newer design or something. I also bought the OS mount that goes with it so I wouldn't be wasting time trying to make the engine fit with the supplied mount. Bought a Dave Brown spinner and a pilot which should look very nice. I don't know why people are running they're four stokes inverted instead of on there sides. I always seem to have trouble when I mount my four strokes inverted. I guess it's a matter of preference. Hope to have the plane built this week but won't fly her for a some time with the 24 inches of snow we had in Boston last weekend. John

My thought exactly in regards to the Corsair.

John....did you get a chance to fire up the OS...??

Dave...not yet but maybe tomorrow. Plane is ready to go. I don't know if all the snow is off the field. If the snow is off, then it's a go. If not I have to go to my ski planes. Look forward to it though.

John

John,

Have pics of your motor install? Should be a good combo!

Yer gonna luv it.

Gary

Sure! I'll have them up tomorrow when I get back from the field.

John

Well....at long last, mine is going up tomorrow. It came out pretty good....
the balance is a bit heavy in the nose, but just slightly. The servos are in
the cabin. I will put a flying brace on the horiz. stab if it survives.
I did the best I could with the covering....what a PITA ! [sm=stupid.gif]

Quasimodo the hunchback is taking her up........he creashed the last one,
but said he will take it easy this time....

Dave.

Have any of you other Guy s got the Lady flying ? I have 4 flights on mine,
and only a couple small bugs showed up. But I did find out one thing....

....forget about putting a .91 four stroke in this one....not enough suds .

Dave.

Uhhhh, so what yer saying is...your Ol' flying bud "AirGar" was right?? Huh? Are ya? Huh?

Even the 120 I would consider "minimum" in the 4S class.

When I had the original ARC, the instructions showed they built theirs with a "gas motor", however, I don't recall the size. I'm guessing it had to be about the equivelent of a 120 + 2 stroker.

Gary

Haven't got her up yet. I'm too nervous after all the work I put into her.
Got a Magnum 1.08 up front with servos in the rear. I finally got her balanced with about 1.5 oz. on the left wing.

I want to perfect my trainer before I fly her.

Soon, for me, as I'm just waiting for it to get a bit warmer here.
