Finally finished and maidened my GWS Corsair. I looked on some old posts, I bought this kit 10 years ago! Part of the delay was deciding to make it into a "birdcage" and figuring out how to do that. Most of the time, it just sat in a corner of the basement, gathering dust.
Flies great, even with the CG too far back. Landed, moved the battery forward, then flew again. Needs some tweaking, rolls are a bit slow, maybe some more throw on the ailerons, but overall very happy, and that inverted gullwing looks great in the air. It lands at a walk! |

Favorite warbird ever! Would have been best of the War had it gone into service.
This is a scratch, balsa/glass model with Maxx Products co-ax motor. Uses 2-3s 2100 packs in parallel. Finished in fictional operational scheme. |
