I hope this posts. Here is my video documentation of the modifications I am doing to my Flightline Models Corsair. Hope you get something out of the videos. I have a few more then I am starting the external paint process. If it's not ok to post here, please just let me know. I just love trying to help people out with ideas for their own birds. Thanks.

RCAV8R, It's a Corsair, just a bit smaller. Off topic, nah, great weathering work. She is a looker. Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

Corsair Compatriots, Quick update, though the work was slow, on the Cowl Flap Mod. Parts painted, fitted, and glued. As I wrote, I added CF tubes at the bottom of the fuselage and through the OEM CF strengthening rods that extend forward 3" into the fuselage. I used Gorilla clear to add the Cowl Ring to thinned foam along with the kit foam tac style glue for the PLA parts. I epoxied the CF rods in place and into the forward fuselage. The added total weight was 2.15 oz. That brought the PW Engine mod and Cowl Flap mod to a total of 4.02 ounces which is just over 1 ounce more than the 4 OEM weights. I think it is a fair trade off. In any event, I am on to the next mod. More when there is more. Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

Gentlemen, I thank you. RC, I used to be the Prince of Polyester in the 70's, Yes, HW the springs are light, so we'll see about 'airflow closure', and E4, thanks again, mate. Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

Here's my 4th video on The 1600mm Corsair. Thanks so much to all the guys putting stuff up that gave me the motivation to do this. I am always amazed at how relaxing this is. I have only built two plastic models in my life and that was a couple months ago and that was great as well. Now I just hope as the maiden nears, I fly her as good as she's coming out
