Thanks guys. She is getting a lot of attention. Must have been hundreds of pictures taken yesterday.

Many other nice planes as well. She is in good company.

Gary and Brain ask me to post the results from the Toledo Show , at the moment they are still on the road heading for home from the show.

The Carf F4U-1 Corsair was granted FIRST PLACE in the Military Sport Scale class.

WTG Gary Brian and Dom . The Corsair drew a steady crowd thru the event .

The intakes look fantastic as well as the disc brakes,, perfection.

Here are a few pics from the past few days that i took and i am sure there will be more .

Congrats Team .

Thanks guys. Your support through this build has meant a lot. We have overcome some tough things playing the background. Here are some more pictures from the show.

We met scores of guys who told us they followed the build threads. It was heartwarming to meet in person so many who love what we do. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Congratulations to all the winners, including the builder of that wonderful dragon, seen in these pictures talking with me.

I enjoyed all the models put on display and every one had merit. Glad i don't have to judge these things.

One of the nicest compliments we got all week end came from none other than Greame Mears himself!!! I walked back over to the plane to see Greame studying her. After we exchanged greetings, he said, "this is great, but you have me puzzled, is this the CARF?" He recognized some of his parts, but was looking for all the factory CARF surface detail that I 'erased' to do a more scale look. He appreciated what we had done and was astonished at the thorough job we had done of it. Very cool indeed.

See you at Top Gun Greame. (different class fortunately)

Upon our return, we went back to work on her. Here is a link to the video I made of the now perfectly working electric wing and how we intend to get that 'smoke' to the guns.
