I wanted to see what black looked like so painted that as a first layer. But decided i wanted the original blue. Just waiting for the paint to dry and decals going on from callie. I am somewhat concerned as i got the 1/10 scale size, but oh well.
Here's how it turned out with LG. I went with a light blue canopy to hopefully help with orientation in flight. Cant wait to maiden!Hey Sponz, Ben Harber’s Corsair had landing gear. Any chance bracing locations on the wings and wire templates are in the plans?
I just received the kit with the precut parts and linkages. Question for you veteran builders - once i popped out the parts they are not flush cut as I would have expected there is considerable shrinkage of the foam from the paper leaving a U shape. Not sure how that works to glue together with hot glue - is it normal on these precut kits to have that much recession or shrinkage from the paper at the cut lines See attached pictures View attachment 131270 View attachment 131271 seems like i would need to trim some of the parts to make them flush for better gluing which ands more time and it why I ordered it precut any thoughts ?

Hi,
Just wanted to show you my latest FT Corsair version with contra-rotating motors (1400 GV and 30A ESCs) and landing gear. Flies great!!!
Say Hello to Casper!
(The plan is to take her out and maiden tonight.)
Sure not that impressive in the day;

But at night she starts to liven up a bit;
