I'm building Top Flites F4U Corsair and I'm following RCGuy41 thread in the Kit Building section and I noticed that he mounted a servo on what looks like a laser cut servo tray.The kit doesn't have this on any of the balsa or lite plywood pieces.I was wondering where I might get one of these,I'm attaching a picture of what I'm talking about.From the look of the picture it looks like it's a lite plywood piece.If anybody can point me in the right direction as to where I might get one I'd appreciate it.Thanks for everyones assistance.

I'd break out a ruler, pencil, some 1/8 lite ply and my scroll saw.
for something as simple as a servo tray, it doesn't need to be laser cut.
(assuming you don't have a laser cutter laying around )

Hi AMA 74894,
I would do as you suggested but I have Rhuematoid Arthritis in my hands and they hurt to try and do something like this.If I tried it I'd probably end up cutting off my fingers.Thanks for the suggestion though,I really appreciate it.

ooo well you certainly NEED the fingers...
here's an older thread, but most of the links are still valid...
I've seen servo trays before on Ebay as well...
I have seen similar servo trays made from plastic, I can't imagine you'd have a hard time finding something acceptable.

Hey, Danny.
it looks like those 2 guys are still technically around, but have only had a few posts in the last year... we recently went through a software upgrade (early august 2013)
and some members didn't like the upgrade... :-/
I suspect they've either found other forums or simply have turned off their email notifications...
(you CAN see that info by clicking on any username, then click on 'view forum posts')
one heck of a Corsair thread!

Hi Again Jim,

Hi Danny,

I would be happy to make these up for you and include them with the tailwheel parts.

Hi Chad,
Thanks,I'll take you up on the offer.I've already sent your Paypal payment.Did you make anything else for Brads Top Flite F4U Corsair build?It seems to me that I read that you make a air-foiled tail feather kit and I was wondering what that is and what it does for the airplane and how much it cost?Thanks again Chad for your help and I hope to hear from you again soon.

Danny, PayPal payment was received. Thank you. The scale tail feather kit is the only other item that I have made for the TF Corsair. They are strictly a scale appearance item and I doubt make any difference in the way the airplane performs. I'm afraid I do not offer the parts any longer as I never did sell very many of them and they are a lot of work for very little profit. I would be happy to send you a PDF file of the plans if you would like to cut your own parts.

dreddbatfan

Hi Chad,
Go ahead and send the PDF,if it looks to hard to cut then I won't use it.I wish I could get a hold of Brad because I'd like to know what servos he used for his kit.I can make out the Hitec,Matchbox and I see that he's useing a spectrum radio.I can't tell from the pictures which Futaba servos he's useing besides the S3004 series.If you can make them out let me know.Thanks again and I hope to hear from you again soon.

Which corsair kit are you building? I have the .60 on the bench and going with Futaba 3004 for the wing and a JR and Hitech I have laying around for the tail, but 3004 for the .60 work fine all around. Mine is taking 8 servos since I have a mechanical tail wheel and electric retracts. For that using a cheap $5 JR car servo. It has one function to pick it up and put it down. They also work fine for throttles. Got a 10 pack of them for $50 brand new with all the hardware. I replaced all my throttle servos with them and using the more expensive servos elsewhere.

More than one is included in the kit. The picture does not show the laser cut wood panel provided.
