Tango,

Thanks for the kind words on the Corsair repair. I fix better than I fly.

RE: How to transfer plans to balsa for cutting

The acetone/burnishing from scans is time consuming...accurate but time consuming. I suppose a mix of methods is best, depending on the part.

RE: How to transfer plans to balsa for cutting

Thanks Steve, will do. I bought one of those wheels and some dress making carbon paper several months ago but never did try it. I like the pin idea better. I don't think my hand is fluid enough to...

RE: How to transfer plans to balsa for cutting

Thanks all,

I tried the ironing thing, but it warped the balsa. What did work great was acetone/burnishing using photo paper instead of plain paper in a laser color printer...see Making Parts...

John's Corsair lives again...

Well here's the before and after...that's John. He sold me the carnage for $30. After a little bench testing I changed from a 6S4P to a 5S4P. The AUW is 8 lb 5 oz.

RE: P-51 stuff

I can't say for sure, but I saw John's (flyanything) Corsair fly with the 4130-16, and it appeared to be a good setup. The P-51s are about the same size...weight and wing area. It definietly had the...

RE: JETI Advance Controllers

Like I said it will fly at least one more time. If it does okay, we will definitely have to try some formation flying. As for the fix, it wasn't that difficult, just a lot of forethought in order to...
