RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

Tommy

I wonder why you are mounting your Saito upside down? In my experience this makes starting more difficult. My SC 120 sideways fits inside the cowling as does the silencer. When you land,...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

Tommy,

Have they made the bulkhead thicker? does it still have one thickness of 3mm ply backed by another with lightening holes? I have epoxied a reinforcing cross from 10mm square strip on to...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

I flew my Corsair again this weekend after a rebuild of the nose and one wing, destroyed in my last crash. Repair went well and plane looked great as usual. Take off was good. This time I let it...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

As far as I know little has been done to correct kit problems. They do supply new U/C links and the gear can be made to work with a little stregthening up of the linkage. They still have a weakness...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

I have had my Hanger 9 Corsair for about one year. Only flown six times, but I got it down this week and after repairing one servo wire where the mouse had had a feed, it was ready to fly again. Our...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

Hi

Iam perhaps lucky to have a small lathe. I made up a Hamilton looking spinner which fits in front of the standard nut and tightens up to it with a tiny gap to the Three blade prop. Looks good...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

My Hanger 9 Corsair with a Magnum 91 FS, has survived over one year of occasional flying from a short grass patch. It is a job to slow up, but practice at slow flying has proved that it does not tip...

RE: Twin RCV??

Hi all,

I did this conversion when the 58 first came out, but it was not successful. I made a forked pair of rods which worked well, but because both pistons moved together, there was not enough...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

Ceoff,

You have made me look at changing my Corsair to electric. After a frustrating Saturday, trying to get my Magnum 91FS to run reliably. Finally traced to a different fuel with too much oil...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

LDM,

I made a 3mm ply ring which fitted neatly inside the back of the cowl, about 3/4" forward of the back edge. Epoxied in place, it made the cowl much more rigid. I then laminated a ring of...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

My Corsair also flies very well. It is quite stable and landings can almost be made using only the throttle once lined up. I do perform aerobatics, but try and keep them to what the real thing might...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

Hi all,

I sleeved my main pushrods with carbon fibre tube. I also moved the bell crank liks to maximum throw, inner hole from the servo, outer to the retract. I also used a strong disc on the...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

Geoff,

I use the original wheels without trouble. I am sure you coulf find lighter, but they will retract. I also cover my legs with Robart plastic dummy oleo's, which add more weight. Once I...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

I started off with a HiTec Servo for my Hanger 9 retracts. It had a gear failure and then burned out, running on 5 cells, 6 volts, which it needed to give enough power to retract the servo's. I...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

Hi RCPILOT 78,

I have made my retracts work so far. Basically by beefing up all the bits. Rods are sleeved with carbon fibre tube, epoxied in place. Servo is bigger and strokes beyond the...

Grinder,

Super photo, how do you get this on to the forum. I have tried various ways, but not achieved it.

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

Hi Grinder,

Sorry, I made the mistake of thinking that you were using the latest RCV 91CD, which is a more normal engine except for the rotating cylinder. That is the design I have experience...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

Grinder,

Interesting that you are using an RCV. I have some experience of the 53 size and can warn you that the cooling needs to be special for these engines. I have had to duct the air around...

RE: ys 120

Grinder,

I have my servos in the tail firstly because that is the supplied design, secondly because placing them forward could give a problem with balance, especially with a heavy engine,...

Geof Gino,

I do not know how you can tell which version you have except that later ones have more reinforcement to the firewall. My version has the servo's in the tail, the rudder being...

Symply 3D

My Corsair is one of the later ones and the firewall is perfectly reinforced and shows plenty of glue. Never been a problem. There have been wing failures, but again I think you will...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

Some good ideas here, but where does the pilot sit and how does the canopy locate and stay on? My pilot watches the battery checker which has its lights just in front of the dahboard.
I will try...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

My Hanger 9 Corsair has had quite a few flights now. The Magnum 91 Four-stroke has plenty of power. I only use full for take-off and climb. It flies very well and since beefing up all the...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

Firth,

As my Corsair flies on about half throttle most of the time, I expect your 60 2-stroke would suffice. However the 91 four-stroke does give lots of torque and gets one out of trouble with...

RE: Hangar 9 60 size corsair arf

Shakes,

The standard retracts can be made to work, but you will have to make absolutely certain that the linkage from the servo is stiff and straight. Also that the throw to the actuating rods...
