Thanks for the nice words Peter. The plane was painted with Ace Hardware brand Sunshine Yellow Gloss spray paint. I really like their spray paints. I always treat the dollar tree foam board with minwax oil base polyurethane before painting. I just wipe it on then wipe off the excess with a paper towel before spraying the paint.

Retracts
Hi Alp
Thanks for the plans I have also started on the build process. Got an ear full from the misses as i only got to bed at 1:00AM HAHA
I did a Mustang from Flight test with home made retracts which i got the idea from HILDFLYER in the forum he built it for the Spitfire. The Mustang was too nose heavy each time to wanted to take off it would dip the nose. I hand launch it but still land on the retracts. Might be an idea to look at that to see if it could be incorporated into the Corsair and Texan
How did you mount the Power pod on this one. If you have photos on the build it will be fantastic
Thanks for the plans
Edwin
No, I've never seen anyone do recracts

AT6
Super! My father in-law flew an AT6. In July 1942 he crashed and lost half his left hand. Later became a science teacher...
I'd love to build this next! We have actual crash site pictures from 1942 and are able to see the numbers and details. Good winter project for NY.

Dihedral measurements
Hi Alp, Thank you very much for the plans. Fuselage is complete! Lots of fun. Could you pass along the dihedral measurements? If middle wing is flat, how high should the wing tips be off the table?

I'm new to FT and just found this thread, great job Alp! I'm just starting to build from FT kits but this bird is on top of my list for a scratch build.
My Father was an AT6F crew chief during the Korean War. He was assigned to the 6147 TCG at K47, Chunchon, ROK. Here's a picture of my Dad standing at the nose of his aircraft "LTA-291":
I bet you can't guess the paint scheme when I DO build this aircraft?!
Keep up the awesome work Alp!

Scratch Build AT6 Texan
Thanks Alp,
here is my AT6 Texan Scratch Build, all dollar store foam board, including the skin (original was skinned in poster board).
As per my 9 yr old daughter (she saw me add R2D2 as a co-pilot) and suggested putting Luke Skywalker in as a Pilot.
So I went with the Star Wars theme , and added only Star Wars Rebel Forces Decals.
maiden flight to follow when the weather breaks,
Motor/ servos/ linkage/ and Pilot all came from a crashed "Parkzone Sukhoi su 29mm"
1250 kv brushless
40a esc
11x5.5 apc prop
48" wingspan
38" tip to tail (including spinner)
3s 2200mah 25c lipo
Weighs 1364 Grams without battery

Alp never did any build videos but if you look through this thread or his corsair thread you will probably find what you are looking for. If not just ask.
