As you know a lot depends on your choice of motor. I'm using a power 10 size motor which has good power. I've tried several props including 3 blade 11x7, 4 blade 10x8, 2 blade 12x6 and 11x8. They all worked ok but I would like to get more speed. It just isn't as fast as the store bought corsair. I'm going to try 4-cell lipo if it will fit in the battery compartment. Your plane will fly with the 10x7 but performance might be lacking.

If you are planing to put the tacon bigfoot 10 on 4s in the corsair. A 10 in prop will work with more power then you will ever need. But you will need a aluminum or carbon spar for the wing cause even with a 10x7 youll fold the wings. And if you step up to the 10x10 just make sure you can handle speed. Now its not going to push over 100 maybe less on the 10x10 do to the wide fuse drag and the thick wing but you will have enough prop. and some fast speeds with that setup
Jayz, this is the motor I have. http://www.bphobbies.com/view.asp?id=V450327&pid=B1858544
Not as big as the one you mentioned but still plenty of power. Thanks for the heads up on the 4-cell set up.

im trying to put the wings together..they are the same angle.yet when i add the center peace,one wing angle is way out..i need to redo the center peace,i could be wrong but i think it would of been a good idea to make the spar 1 long peace.
anyone got any pics of how they have connected the elevator together?
also where they have put the control horns in the rear section.
the fusalage has gone together with no problems

Amazing design and builds! ALP thank you so much for making this and sharing.
It's made of 2 inch thick pink foam. You cut the diameter and then round the edges to the way you like.
