Happy October All, I took the summer off as I wanted to fly planes, I also bought a Flightline 1600 F4U-1D Corsair last month at a swap shop. Now I can practice flying Corsair's out at the field. I have been working on installing the sliding canopy onto my Top Flite Gold Edition 60 Size Corsair. I have run into a few issues with getting it mounted in the plane the way that I wanted it. The main issues I have had is the the fuse tapers down 1/2 inch from just behind the cockpit to where the linear servo stops to open the canopy fully. The issues is that my setup is too wide when going toward the back of the plane. I have slotted my push bar setup and hopefully that will fix the issue of binding against the side of the fuse. I have also decide to make a skeleton frame for the front half of the canopy. That way I can attach what ever to it for scale sake.
