120" Goodyear FG-4 Corsair Build Thread
Hey everyone,
After some snooping and help from lots of you guys, I’ve decided to build a “giant single engine warbird”, as discussed in this thread: http://forum.flitetest.com/showthread.php?34277-Well-I-m-Kinda-At-A-Loss-Here&highlight=Warbird
I concluded on an FT3D, but I’m a sucker for warbirds. Plus, the FT3D seems too boring.
I think a Giant Corsair might be a bit of a reach, but at the same time, a hefty challenge that I hope to get done this summer before school starts (I probably won’t).
This won’t be your normal Corsair though. It’s going to have folding wings. Yes, I’m nuts.
Thanks to the help of DamoRC and Hai-Lee, I printed some Mini Corsair plans that I scaled up in Adobe. They’re quite large.
Of course, I’m not going directly from these plans. I’ll probably make a symmetric airfoil and cover with foam instead of cardstock.
The final goal is to make this look really scale (loads better than the P-61), and have it fly well. I also want to be able to do a roll.
That said, I’m not using C Pack motors. I’ll be using a larger Suppo and some proper servos.
