Everbody has to love the Corsair, I really like the bellcrank mount, bet you will not pull that one out in a pull test , easy to service controls  too

Very nice

Good luck with this great looking model. Very proper (Navy) for the area you live in. I like the innovations that they put in it.

Ty,

That is very interesting. Did not the Franklin get underway and return to the Navy yard in Brooklyn NY after it was hit?

Hi Ty, Thanks for the information on the USS Franklin. Do you know anything about the USS Shamrock Cove?  I believe that was the name of the ship. Thanks, Mike

 Do you have any construction photos on this one?

[tom_weedman]

Hey Weed!
That is one nice looking airplane! .

Have always wondered how a bent wing would do in stunt.
Do you notice it in the flight characteristics?

         Could not tell it seems to be tail heavy turns real quick glides real good when the motor shut down like I said it still needs some trimming
      thanks TOM WEEDMAN ama 63672
