Here are the bones of my Corsair. The photos aren't any better then what I had for my F-4b4 .. but thought never the less here there are. For carrier I'll have my Cox Conquest on it but for profile scale I'll put my new O.S. LA .15 so I can hang a hugely muffler on it. This muffler will spoil the looks. QUESTION::: why mufflers required for all scale and yet not for stunt, carrier, combat, speed??? Everything makes noise.
Maybe to many photos-lol- The fuselage will be sheeted with 4" wide 3/32" sheet. All fabric areas of the actual Corsair will be fabric covered on the model. The flap control will be within the airfoil and the throttle control will exit through the wings lower leading edge. Elevator push rod will be within the fuselage with a wire coming out the tail cone for hook release. The hook will be removable for scale flying. All lead outs will be within the wing's airfoil.. out the bottom of the tip. The ailerons will be built up, fabric covered and if needed used for adjustment of flight attitude. I have made plans with 300" sq. wing.
I have one of Sterlings F-4U bird cage kits.. well I still have the complete unbuilt wing and some of the fuselage parts , so I made up what will be needed using a scale fuselage plan I made from some high quality drawings form a Squadron publication of "US Navy fighters". If you don't have these Squadron publications get them. They are more than exultant. Short history, multi view drawings and color profiles. If you can find it get " Fighting Colors F-4U- Corsair in color" from Squadron and when on sale at Squadron " Famous Aircraft of the world F-4U Chance Vought Corsair". Squadron has their " Corsair in action" and maybe even " Corsair walk around". I even have the drawings that appeared in Scale RC Modeler yearbook '78.
Hope the photos are enjoyed.
