Hi Wayne this is eric. I built all three of those planes. The F4F was built in around 93 or 94 and was one of my first trys at building something other than a MO1. I had a cousin that flew one off carriers in WW2 and was killed on Guadalcanal while trying to dead stick his F4F because they needed the parts so bad. It was a little big and had a lifting airfoil so was not the most competetive plane at the field. Built the 1st of 3 109Ts in 2000 and each one just got better, they are nice flying machines. Built the Corsair just in the last couple months and have started another one. The Corsair seems to fly just as good as the 109T but may be a 10th of a sec. slower in the HS but I think I can live with that while still flying a WW2 stars and stipes plane. One of the first things I do when thinking about building a new carrier plane is can I line up the engine, fuel tank, wing, and bellcrank so they will not add additional collective drag. The 109T is perfect and the F4U came close but would never think of a F6F because of to much frontal area. I love those nice heavy Nelsons Sport 40s because you can make the nose movement very short and still have room for a 3'' long fuel tank between the back of the engine and the front of the wing spar. I use a built up wing with 2- 3/8th by 1/8th spruce spars and put 1/32 in. ply doublers on both sides of the spar in the area of the tank and one more bay out beyond the tank. The bellcrank then mounts behind the tank and spar and is kept low in the wing so that the lines are in contact with the wing all the way out to the wing tip. The throtle cable is routed through a copper tube in the tank to the carb. on the engine. Use a mediume golden rod cable and it works fine even when its a little off. I will send Bill Little some pictures of the F4F sad to say a before and after. eric
