    you can also reverse direction by moving the servo output arm to the other side of the servo and the ball link to the other side of the aileron control horn.

                I've noticed that folks from England and former British colonies tend to pronounce it "Soul-der" and most Americans pronounce it "Saw-der". Its a thing… I have no idea how it happened!

                  TMD, I am pretty sure it's main reason for all the hub-bub over that independence thing and why the English don't celebrate National Treason Day the same way we do. "You say Solder, I say Solder, let's call the whole thing off." At least it's spelled the same. Best, LB

                                I'm waiting on parts so I can install a sliding canopy on the Corsair. In the meantime I designed an instrument panel that fits.

                                  Hey guys, I had an amazing thing happen with my Corsair today. I was at the field with other club members, it was a fantastic early spring day - clear skies, low winds, temps in the low 60's. We did a bunch of flying.

                                  My last flight with the Corsair was normal - when I was ready I came in to land... lowered the gear with 1/2 flaps, went down the base leg, turned to final and then lowered the flaps all the way. It settled down, and I motored it in and cut the power a few feet off the runway and settled it in for a nice landing.

                                  When it stopped I turned it around to taxi back and realized that the flaps were completely down only on one side! And I mean ALL the way down. The other side - nothing. So I taxied it in and looked at it. Both ailerons were working but the flaps on one side were dead. After I unplugged the connectors and plugged them back in, everything was fine.

                                  I have my plane set so that with full flaps, they are ALL the way down, like 80 degrees.
                                  I am amazed that I flew it in like that, perfectly normally with the flaps down on only one side! What the H-E- double L!! Why didn't it keel over on final?

                                  I guess its good to know, the flaps don't affect the trim. I know its hard to believe but I did it and everyone watched me.

                                  Here's a pic with my Corsair and the FMS Tigercat. What a great day of flying.
