corsair

I'm not sure which CG measurement to use. I have seen 1", 1.5", 1.75" and 2.5" The sticker with the kit says 2.5", but I can't fathom its that far back. This is for the mini corsair v2, great kit BTW. Also have the same issue with the mini zero. Not sure what source to believe. Any help would be...

I have been reviewing Joshua Orchards build on the Top Flite Corsair. I have also been speaking with him directly regarding portions of my build. I am about 1/2 way through building my TF Corsair and have done some scale things on my build similar to Joshua build. I am current working through...

A friend of mine that I fly with said I should start posting build threads of some of the builds I have done recently. So I decided why not? I am a scratch builder through and through. I have only bought one or two planes total. For the corsair, I decided I want to make this thing as light as...

Which would be better for my first build and which would you reccomend - FT Corsair or FT edge?

Welp, ran into more issues while building my speed build Corsair. The power pack C I ordered came with a motor with a shaft on the same side as the x-mount, and I don't know if I can swap it around. The power pod is very tiny, a 4s 2200 takes up the entire space and there is no room left for the...

I am attaching the cowl with the pod holder into the main fuselage, how far down the does cowling go onto the E former? Should bottom lip of the pod holder be flush with the E former or do I push it down as far as it will go when gluing it?

To date, this is the scariest plane I have ever maiden! I was nervous because I was to keep this flying this model for the years to come. She was amazing to fly, and the biggest issue was getting her off the landing strip, which is more me than the plane. I need to adjust the tail wheel not to...

Guys this plane is simply amazing! You want big, yeah it's big. You want power, yeah it's got power. It's got so much power that Mr. "Mo powah mo betah" nearly lost it on the thrust check. Freewing has really stepped up their game. Gone are the biggest issues I've seen in their models (not that...

will the 800mm corsair v2 by fms fly on a 3s? also, what prop should I put on to make sure it doesn't draw too many amps?

okay, I just watched the Corsair build, amazing and Peter did a great job making it so easy to understand. I was thinking, either a Tri-Corsair Winged Corsair; with the wings working with ailerons. With the added weight, I would not suggest a mini, but a good size Corsair and might need a good...

I recently bought FT Might mini Corsair and the first few times I flew it, the plane held in air but then started to swerve to one direction. I have the custom "power pod" angled differently and I think that might be the answer Also is there anywhere I can get 6x4.5 propellers.

Hello, So for my Mid-life Crisis, I went on my 41st B-day and bought a cheap Blade Nano QX 3D from my local hobby store. While I was looking to educate myself on Quads and FPV I came across the flite test crew comparing some quads with FPV. Next time I was on Youtube it suggested I watch a...

I am looking to build the FT MIGHTY MINI CORSAIR and currently have a mini-powerpod with this http://www.altitudehobbies.com/a-series-motors/brushless-motor-300-28-12-1400kv-suppo-2204-14 motor on it running a 6x5.5 prop with a 10A ESC. Will this setup work with the Corsair. I don't want a...

Hi everybody, I am flying RC planes and quadcopters for some years now but until the beginning of this week, i was completely new to scratchbuilding. My first model was the mighty mini Corsair and i really love it !! As i think, that it is a little bit small, i instantly decided to build a...

Hi, I just made the new Corsair and thought I would share my setup for some awesome speed! I used a funfighter motor with a 6x4 prop. It went fast on 3s, but according to some weird German Doppler effect software it went 100.4 MPH on 4s give or take. Not sure how accurate it was, but it seems...

After watching Disney's " Planes" my step daughter asked me if I could build "Skipper". We had already built "Ripslinger" and " Dusty" and a couple other FT aircraft. I told her I wasn't sure but would see what I could do. Having recently learned some AutoCAD, it became a challenge for me to...

You guys built the Spitfire swappable but thats a straight wing for the most part. I'd like to see you guys build a Corsair with that funky wing and if it flys good, PLEASE offer it as a swappable haha
