It's a hard balancing act unless you have a wife who understands and doesn't feel threatened by your hobby and doesn't feel you are taking up family finances for "dumb" things. If she can't understand, your attitude will have to change or you're headed for misery. If you have to ask, "How will I explain ................................. to the wife", I think there are other things you must ask and answer first.Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman

As a matter of fact, full size warbirds have propeller thrust offset designed into them ;)Warbird Charlie

The fin and rudder on Corsairs was offset 2 degrees to port which helped counteract torque from that huge prop.
Its the first thing I looked for when I pulled this model from the box. But, the fin was straight and the usual motor offset of around 2 degrees was there instead.
I’ve only been able to find a 3 view drawing showing this.

Ordered two more batteries from China Hobby Line. They were having a sale, got them for $51.49 each. I also worked out a scheme with Callie graphics to do #93 with the red line around the insignias. I also opted to do the white line design that is just in front of the cockpit. No it won’t be true to scale but I like it. Will post pictures once they come in.
