Dynaflite Corsair build
Hey folks,
I just purchased a fun scale corsair, and would like to put mechanical rotating retracts on it. I know I can order the ones that fit the Horizon Hobby corsair, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me where else I might find some. HH is out at this time, or if anyone has some they took out of a HH navy plane they would like to sale. Also if anyone has any tips please let me know. Especially how much nose weight may be needed to balance. I had a P51 with a OS 46 that required quite a bit of lead. I am thinking a YS 63 on this one. Thanks and stay tuned for the build.

Alan, I built this model many years ago. I suggest you measure the plans for the wings. On mine the inboard gull sections were not of the same span and this caused a real mess when i tried to assemble the wing and set the dihedral.

I decided to use a 2 stroke motor. I didn't want to the head sticking out. So I got a TT 46 at the LHS for 96.00 with tax. Not too bad. I also have seperated all the die cut pieces and numbered them. I will probably start glueing pieces after Chrstmas.
Merry Christmas

RE: Dynaflite Corsair build
Well I am out of town for Christmas, and cant wait to return home and get busy. I did start on the fuse before I left. I have both sides built. I had a fun fly P51. I hope this one flies just as well. The P51 was my first kit. I have it still, but it is in need of some repair to be air worthy. I might just break it back out after the corsair.
Merry Christmas

Yes it is a old kit. I am not sure when they stopped making it. I found one on ebay. I plan on posting pictures as I build.
