I used the glue that came with my Airfield plane. It worked fine.

No hatch on the side of mine.

I also have a small plastic hatch on the left side of the fuse for the elevator servo. The rudder servo should be right underneath the plastic vertical stab that you screwed on. At least that's how it is on my bird and I bought my bird last June.

There should be a hatch

OK, so there should be a plastic cover glued over the elevator servo, you should be able to find this cover/hatch by following the push rod attached to the elevator back to the fuse the hatch is right there where the push rod go's into the fuse. Mine was painted the same color as fuse and blended in very well. Let me know if you don't find it, I'd love to see a picture of that area.

Are you sure you got the Art_Tech and not another Corsair from Hobby King?

The hatch is there, I didn't see it before.
That probably would have made getting the rudder servo wire through the fuselage easier.
Here's a picture of the access and a picture of the new pilot.

OK
Just be careful removing it and there is your servo! Cute Pilot!

DARNIT Mopower you TOTALLY STOLE my idea of Marvin Martian as pilot, been looking for one that size....I therefore lay personal claim to Chester Cheetah then! But he'll go in the Spitfire...

I had to mount marvin on a block of wood to get him high enough. The cg falls in right where I was told it should be. Guess it was a bit nose heavy. That empty cockpit was bugging me.

I agree an empty cockpit looks wrong, nice touch with Marvin the Martian!

Now if the weather would cooperate I could go test it. Been very windy, cold, and now snow. Might have to buy a new plane to put together while I wait for spring. Any sugestions on a nice warbird? I have my eye on the dynam t 28 trojan. Would like to add flaps to it if I get it.

Another shot of Marvin piloting his Corsair.
You can see he is manning the stick.
