My Top Flite Giant Scale Corsair
Click picture to enlarge
This is the Corsair ready for covering
This is the finished Corsair
This is my present project I have been working on it since May
Not steady of course The first picture is the engine that will power it
a Fugi 64cc I picked the mag version since it weighed more and I'm sure
that I will need extra weight to balance this plane. The review I read
said that he added 3 lbs of lead to the nose. I hope I will not have to add that much
I will be covering it with Monocote since I got a rebate of $50 when I purchased
the engine to spend at my local hobby store I got 5 rolls of Monocote
flat dark blue and flat dove gray what else for a Corsair I have Robart
retracts to put in including the tail wheel
The Corsair now has 7 flights on it and it performs
very well. No evil things. I did put a little extra washout in the ailerons
but I'm not sure if it was needed. The Fugi engine runs very well and
moves this 23lb plane very well. I hope to get more flights on it
next year.
2008 PROJECTS
The Top Flite Piper Arrow
Here are some pictures of my present project
This kit is all wood construction except for the cowl and cabin.
It features a full flying elevator which is built in and pivots on
two ball bearings It can be powered with a 60 to 90 size engine.
