![]() ![]() Wing tip end is 10mm and 7mm respectively. The root for my main wing part is 16mm high on front spar, 14mm on the back. ![]() It was short chord-wise, and the holes don't align it properly on the spars either. After I cut out bottom and spars, I placed a paper wing top curved over the assembly. (Too hard to join two curved wings without leading edge straight reference). I Printed the plans in "A" size pieces and am building the wing in 4 pieces and will join later with small V pieces of 1/8" ply, after sanding the ends on a table "a la Josh's Versa wing build style". Get your build materials in order and let Josh and John take you through it.įlite Test may want to review the wing top/spars/ribs in the posted plans. Here's how to build your brand new Corsair. Navy in late 1944 and early 1945 and soon became the most formidable fighter-bomber on the Pacific theater. It entered service in large numbers with the U.S. It was operated as a carrier-based aircraft for most of its use during World War 2, resulting in some of its unique looks. The real F4U Corsair is, of course, a bit of a legend. ![]() Building a Corsair, therefore, will equip you with the skills needed for next level aircraft.īuilding a Corsair will add valuable experience to your RC airplane building skill set. The new foam board methods in this Master Series build will be carried over to future Flite Test models. The curves of the Corsair have been faithfully recreated whilst easy flying characteristics have been retained. The result of these new methods is a new level of scale realism. It's "mold together" rather than "fold together". Evolving our fold and glue techniques used for many years, this is another step forward for foam models. Using techniques pioneered by many in the FT community, and especially in this instance by John Overstreet, this plane uses new molding methods to smooth curves and contour lines. It takes the intimidation out of the whole game. It's light, meaning you have low wing loading and forgiving stall tendencies, and can take a hit. We're very proud of it and hope you're as impressed as we are at what foam board can do!įoam board is really the best way to get into RC warbirds. Just look how scale this thing is in the air.Įven in our standard Flite Test foam, it's a thing a beauty. The kit is out now in the Flite Test Store. ![]()
