Now that I know she flies, I'll do a bit of weathering on her. The first step is almost done. I'd like to try to get that "paint flaking off" look. I have a few ideas, let's see how it goes...

Slow but sure.... I need to see her in the sun. Now I really wish I had done the cockpit and pilot.

Well I know it's been a while since I last posted hear on this thread, but I finally got the Raiden finished. I was able to get some preliminary flight in, but keeping the flight times short for about 4 minutes to find those unforeseen hiccups, like the retracts, and the clicking sound. Very happy the way this plane fly's, and sounds on those fly bys. The video is not the best in quality, and videoing, so please forgive me in advance.

Sweet! She's a different lookin bird in the air that's for sure! I love the sound! Nice job Corsair 29!!

I got a bunch of flights on mine until of all things, a wheel came off on landing, and before I could react, tore the left side gear out (and flap, and trailing edge) She's def fixable, but far down on the to do list this winter. She 's in this video, starting at 7:17 (sorry, only two passes)...That's my OV10 in the beginning (not a AV-10..Lol)

Thanks Phil, sorry to hear about your mishap, I hope you can get her back in the air soon. That's a nice video, I like that OV10.

A lot of folks here say 145mm, but I started mine at 130-135mm.
