Right
Turns out since I’m scrutinizing them for details, what i’m really looking at were two different airframes with the same name.
Silly me.
The first Birdcage Gus’s Gopher with the Gopher nose art and mostly stock paint was shot down sometime in August over Bougainville, 1st Lt Thomas survived and was rescued.
That same Plane Captain from VMF-213 got busy on a replacement bird asap.
The second Birdcage Gus’s Gopher had the name only on each side of the cowl. It must have been built up from wrecked parts and sported a completely new three color paint scheme applied in theater.
Also, for those of you who are not in the know.
Airplanes do not belong to pilots. Pilots may have their names on them but they belong to the assigned Plane Captain in the Navy/ Marines or Crew Chief in the Air Force.
Pilots mearly borrow them and most times do terrible things to them ! ;)
Once their broken their handed back to the knuckle dragging dim whits to fix. :Silly:
I know these things first hand... Navy/USAF... retired, 30 years of fixing broken **** and still at it. :Cool:

Hi all, I have spent a long time trolling through the posts after information on the 3D printed panels.
If I've missed it call me blind but I can't find the right files.
I have tried printing the MotionRC files for the Bubble Top but the Front/Dash is wrong.
I've read and re-read the MRC notes but every file I've printed is either visually or dimensionally wrong.
Does anyone have or can you point me in the direction of the correct file please?
As I say its for the Bubble Top version.
Many thanks.

Alpha and TW#s, I spent some time clipping the OEM stl Files for Aros and I believe the updated stl files are now posted on the MotionRC website in the Flightline Corsair Support pages. Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

Hi, I used the Feb 15 file and as you can see the panel is too wide.
The January 3rd file looks better with more of an overhang on the sides but again the wrong size.
Have people been resizing the model?
Also the dial positions are incorrect to the paper dash but that is no biggie.
Thanks1 Photo

Tired of fighting the retracts on my FMS....is anyone actually flying this plane not just painting it? How are the retracts holding up after 40 or 50 flights? Would love to shelf my old Corsair but don't want to do it just to add another that the retracts plop out of unless you grease the landings every time.
