FT Corsair

[jpot1]

Looking to build a corsair using FT techniques. I know FT has the mini but was wondering if anyone has scaled it up. I don't have the software to do so. I have built Filken's corsair and that flew nicely but I had problems in the way the wing joined the fuse. I also saw some plans from Alp and Vincent U but all of the curved formers scare me. Looking for suggestions.

I know Ron B did.

I've built several of the these ..... See article by clough42
F4U Corsair swappable. The ones I've final found fly the best, I have extended the outer wing 1 1/2"longer than these plans. just article search for this screen name and you'll have the plans and a detailed how to on the build. Amazing flier and looks good too.

Do a search for F4u Black corsair. This is a great version of the corsair using ft construction methods. Designed by "Alp". Plans are avaiable on the forum. I built this plane and many comments were that it looked like store bought. I also built his "Texan".

That is right, SPONZ has them on the plans index. http://forum.flitetest.com/showthread.php?17136-SP0NZ-Plans-Index

Thanks all. Printed Alps corsair plans. Looks like fun with all the curved formers. Adding it to the winter build list.
