Ace simple corsair electric Warbird

[jfint]

I know these kits have been around for a while, but I just discovered them. This is my first non-ARF kit, my first convering job, and my first warbird. I have to say that for the cost of this kit, it is AWESOME. Balsa fuse, and foam wing. I added the skids on the bottom of the wing, they kinda look like profile bombs when its in the air. The plane has a himax 2812-850 outrunner, 10X5 APC prop, and a phoenix 25 controller. I won't quite go verticle with this setup, but warbirds don't need to go certicle to be awesome. I zips along really nicely and launches are quite tame. I have made landings with power untill the last second, the prop can still spin as it skids on the runway(skids would not have been nescessarry if I flew mostly on grass) Anyhow, Ace has lots of warbirds, and from a distance they look pretty scale, not perfect by any means, but for the price and the ease of building you can't go wrong in my book.

Your opinion will be voiced even further jfint. Look for the Ace Simple Corsair review to be public soon.

I have built two of these planes in the past and they were great! I did get one to be under 15oz once and it would just float. But with a mega 16/15/5 and 8x4 prop on 8 cells it would go vertical for the first 30 seconds.

I built one with a Mega 16/15/7 and a 9x6E. Flew great. That was pre lipos too.

Hey J, looks great! Where did you get that bird? I have been looking for an online source for those without to much luck! I want the AT-6.

I have never bought from here (http://www.kingrc.com/planes.htm#ace), but they at least list them. Don't know why the AT-6 is more. I hope this helps.

Mike, another place is Radical RC (http://radicalrc.secure-mall.com/shop/?keywords=ace+simple&match_criteria=all&search=Search&shop=1&cart=574963) in Dayton. Maybe you can find a closer place on acehobby.com's distributer list.

I have liked the simple series Corsair and P-51 since the mid-80's, but have never built one. Maybe someday. :D

Question
Does the Ace Simple Series Corsair kit come with decals?
