See the Instructions tab for tips on selecting a brushless motor for your Corsair. The Corsair was designed for a 6V Speed 400 motor on 7 or 8 cells, but it can also be powered by a small brushless motor for even more impressive performance. See the Information tab for a link and for tips on building foam wings. As with all our Jim Ryan kits, wings are not included - you can cut wings from foam using templates included on the plans or you can order them pre-cut from from Eureka Aircraft. I'd epoxy ply on both sides of the spar (total 3 layers) as I had a Byron hellcat and the wing broke off due to the metal spar breaking free of that lone ply (bought the plane already built). The short kit includes laser-cut balsa and plywood parts, a pre-drilled balsa nose/cowl block, pre-shaped wing joiner blocks, vacuum-formed canopy, and full-size printed plans. I agree with Bob on re-enforcing the spar. Overall, it's an easy to build warbird of balsa and foam construction. Goodyear built 4,014 FG-1s and -1Ds and Vought 4,669 F4U-1s to -1Ds. It also the ability to swap between external tanks and 500lbs bombs Dimensions. The fuselage is built over an internal disposable crutch, and the trademark inverted gull wing uses special joiner pieces to produce the characteristic bent look and avoid the 'broken wing' appearance of most sport scale Corsairs. This model is based on VF-17, the 'Jolly Rogers' that flew out of the Solomon islands through the latter half of 1943 and even accomplished some carrier operations during that time.

The carefully-engineered Corsair model is designed from the ground up to make it possible to build a light and simple version of this complex airframe.
