Great looking pilot!

I installed larger scale wheels and thus enlarged the wheel wells and didn;t use the plastic ones provided with the kit

If you can't find any I could post them...

Dangaras
Is that a 1/7 pilot bust or full body?

RE: Hits and Misses of H-9 Corsair

I measured 1,6 kg including LADO retracts, robostruts and 3,75" robart scale wheels. Rough guess would be 1,2 kg w/o landing gear.

RE: Hits and Misses of H-9 Corsair

I would agree the Corsair is risky for that type of flying and the heavier it gets the more trouble you'll get with rotating retracts.

A Spit, P-51, Me-109, FW-190, Ki-84 should be safer, faster...

The area inside the firewall - tank is quite large but with a small opening due to the tank mount.

Therefore the technique is:
- Cut about 20 small pieces (1" square) of 1/2 oz cloth

Hi Marco,

I used House of Kolor which are for motorbike tanks and helmets. I made the camo colors from the elementary ones, mixing by eye.

I've also worked with Model Masters and Gunze, all...

RE: Hits and Misses of H-9 Corsair

Post-maiden I will tackle the TF cockpit, and look for a suitable pilot. I got my eyes on the CJ 1/9 pilot, any opinions?

RE: Hits and Misses of H-9 Corsair

I also made an air duct for the Saito 100 to direct the air flow over the cylinder and keep it cool. Greek summer can get quite hot!

Its the first time I try this, will report on how it works

I like the 3-blade prop, what motor-prop combination are you using?
