And now for the Vought. It is doubtful that this one will fly after suffering from a horrible hydro-dipping meltdown..
I'll save everyone the nightmare-inducing imagry of the plane being eaten from the inside out but you can well imagine the state of disrepaif this bird is now in. BUT!!!! It looks wicked from 10 or more feet away..
I added some wood screws on foam board pylons to make the plane feel a little more like a Corsair (because straight wings). They added quite a bit of weight but also increased the cool factor a lot. That, in combination of the toothpick guns, made for a very aggressive looking combat fighter.

Thanks for sharing the photo stream. Your builds look great! You are an amazingly organized builder and I’m looking forward to maiden flight videos!
* If you have any comments or suggestions for the plans, feel free to let us know.
Happy Landings!

question for you why are your templates shiny?
Thank you for the hint. Will fix it for the Alpha release.

Bent wing spar... Like for a low-wing Corsair bent wing? I believe if you check on page 6 post# 59 you'll find jpot's bent-wing spar design, but I believe it's for a full-size (Original Bloody Baron size) model. You can certainly adapt it.
I'm not sure what you're describing with your spar design... got a sketch?
By the way... is this an EDF version of the Vampire posted on FB today? If so, sounds cool! Not sure how effective it will be in regular combat applications, but it looks like fun to fly!
If the guys working on laser-tag parachute systems get the package worked out for mini's, we might be able to continue the series with Korean war era fighters!

For the record... I genuinely love designing, building and flying the Bloody Warbird series airplanes.
Expanding the series to include EDF designs sounds great! Naturally, as EDFs and swept wing aircraft possibilities are developed, alterations to the original formula will be made. At the same time, keeping the fuselage and wing designs as close to the Bloody original as practical should be a consideration for this particular build series.
The key is to design quick-build, sturdy, great flying warbird-inspired minis that can be flown together for sport-flying, combat and racing with your friends.
If you have an idea for a Bloody Warbird, build it and share it!
Let's darken the skies with Bloody Minis!

No Worries! I'm a little farther South, but I feel your weather... and every nice day, I'm working. Go figure. So, no rush from me. When you get something worked up, post it.
