another photo, the wing is finished. I have no interest with this story, I tell you what was done as modifications, if you are reassured it's good otherwise I don't care, on the other hand I understand the anger of those who bought the first version of the corsair.

im going a differant route with using expandable foam for the center section....may back the original spar with 4ply birch but i'm thinking consolidate all the air space and voids to act as 1 solid unit! not the entire center section just whats needed,i'll put tubes in for my wiring and block off where i dont want the foam to penetrate then put a few venting holes so excess has somewhere to go rather then blow the skins off the ribs and other structure, they sell high density 2 part foam for use in setting deck posts in the ground.

I have one as well and would be interested in seeing how that works, or the other fix. Also did anyone put a radial in this thing ? I seen the Moki's on youtube but those are hard to find.

The spar system design is bad to begin with, they may have added carbon fiber in some places but it is not going to help unless they put a solid 1/4 aircraft ply spar without lightening holes. The shell surface is also very soft and it can be cut like butter. If you bounce this plane pretty good on landing, it will self destruct on its next flight and risk hurting people around you.
Lucky for me I broke the wing on its first landing and not on its second flight in the air.
Like I said before this wing design is for a 25lbs airplane, but this plane is over 40+ lbs

This is why none are flying. The wing design needs a serious re-design, True engineering not that looks about right. Most competent plane builders see the problems at hand and are not willing to risk what we have spent $2500 on. Like throwing $$ down the drain!!! Sad ,as many of their planes are decent.
This stopped me from buying the P-47 and I really wanted to.

Mine is almost done, wing mod was completed (I won’t comment on it since it has been discussed to death) and last time I worked on it engine installation was completed, I still need to fabricate CNC parts for a servo actuated choke mechanism for the FG90, then it is taking CG, engine break in, radio program fine tune and maiden, this is exhausting…

Can you please post some information on what you did to modify the wing structure? Pics would be great too if you don't mind as I am interested.
Thanks in advance.

There are some pics I posted on the previous pages of this thread, I’m posting under this new username as my original one can’t be accessed at this time (working the issue with RCU)
