Finally got in some flights! Did four shorties this evening. My landings were a little bouncy but not enough to worry about. After my last 6 min flight I pulled the wings and prop off to take it home. I picked up my temp gun and the motor registered 107. Thought that was pretty good. I now have 46 flights on it.

That sounds like great way to approach landing this Corsair, thanks for sharing, I'll definitely give it a try. Did anyone notice on the AMA video and article in Model Aviation on the Flight Line Corsair that Andrew Griffin leaves his throttle at 40% for a smooth glide slope? I guess whatever works for you.:Cool:

Bonjour à tous.
Je viens de terminer le montage de mon Corsair, mais après vérification de l'ensemble, je me suis aperçu que mon moteur n'est pas monté droit. De ce fait, l'hélice n'est pas parallèle au capot du fuselage (2mm de différence par rapport au capot moteur). Pensez-vous que cela aura une incidence sur le vol de l'avion?
Merci d'avance, Christian.1 Photo

Christian62580, je crois que "Offset" est intential. J'ai intégré 2 degrés de "compensation" dans tous mes avions à hélices pour contrer le couple de l'hélice en rotation. Envolez votre Corsair avec l'offset et examinez l'effet. Meilleur, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

Hey Joe, like you, I've been flying along time starting with control line planes. But in the old glow fuel days you could depend on the sound of that McCoy or later O.S. to tell you what your throttle setting was. These electrics are much harder that way so using the timer beep is a good reality check to make sure your in the right neighborhood throttle wise. I would suggest trying it out on a fun fly plane first to see what you think before going to the Corsair. Just a thought.:Cool:

t01ga, looks like you actually did the research on how Corsairs weathered! Well done. I can't think of another plane offhand that wore in the wing root area like that, corresponding to the subframe. Having the zinc chromate show through first is a nice touch (you must be a plastic modeler as well, or at least looked in on how those guys do it!).
