Nice Corsair!  Guillows 400 series, by any chance?

[Fred Cronenwett]

The Corsair is the Great Planes Combat series ARF (43" span) designed for RC that was converted to CL. I had to add landing gear since the plane does not come with any landing gear (meant to be hand launched), then put in an OS-35FP and it has 2.4 Ghz control for the throttle. I did not use the ARF markings, I got my own markings that match my documentation.

If I do another one of these it will be electric with an E-flite E25.

Very nice Fred, saw one of these ARF's in a hobby store in Mayfield KY last Friday.

Just finished an Adams' Special for Byron Barker (C.F.Slattery).  It weighs in at 36.2 ounces at a Barnstormer sized model.

Allen,

The Adam's Speciall looks great...

Here is a closer picture of the Corsair, great to fly, the model is now 7 years old. This ARF kit is ideal for CL fun scale or Carrier, but a hot .35 and it will move!
