You two have me thinking of ways to install functional cowl flaps now. I was perfectly happy with fixed open flaps. D*&T*m yu.

Tom, I'll take full responsibility for your unhappiness in this case...now get back to work on the 'functional' cowl flaps. Best, Steve

[I-fly-rc-aircraft]

Looking at the cowl with the front portion removed (where the weights and faux radial is) it seems the motor mount and shroud are incorporated into the foam as if the foam was molded around them. The area where the cowl flaps are is well aft of the motor mount. I'm not sure how to (or if ) I will proceed.

Ditto brother! OMG, can you guys stop coming up with all these fantastic modifications that I love and have to have but simply am not capable of accomplishing? Even if I tried, it would most likely turn out like and I'd spend all my time trying to keep up and never get out to fly. And God knows I need all the practice I can get just to keep from modifying anything into a lawn dart.

My motto used to be "More flying, less Buying". Well that didn't work out so well, so now I think I'll try "More flying, less Modifying".

I'll just have to live vicariously through your photos and posts, so don't let me down.

C'est le 3D labprint Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Engine remis à l'échelle pour qu'il rentre dans le capot moteur. https://3dlabprint.com/shop/pratt-wh...r-2800-engine/

Christian, moi aussi, j'ai acheté les mêmes fichiers 3DP STL pour l'imprimer pour ma Flightline Corsair. Quel pourcentage avez-vous utilisé? Ki a estimé environ 85%. Meilleur, LB

Je n'ai pas travaillé en pourcentage pour l'impression des 9 cylindres du fond (P&W_R-2800_F4U_01). Sous cura 4.4, pour la valeur de X:132 Y:132 Z:32 le tout en mm. Pour le reste des impressions, X:77,4% Y:77,4% Z:46,5%. J'ai du faire des essais avant, et je pense que tu devras ajuster aussi toi même.

Christian, j'apprécie tes informations. Mon estimation était simplement ma supposition. Je «redimensionnerai» l'impression 3DP sur le diamètre intérieur du capot et le support moteur. Je suis certain que cela fonctionnera aussi bien que votre travail, mais j'ai pensé demander comment vous avez obtenu votre résultat. Encore une fois, merci pour votre réponse. Veuillez continuer à ajouter vos photos au forum au fur et à mesure de votre progression. Excellent travail, monsieur. Meilleur, LB

Steve,
Isn't it enough that you guys are doing incredible modifications that most of us, including me, can't come close to matching and just feel plain jealous about, now your adding the fact that you're multilingual as well. Now you're just showing off. Took 4 years of French and all I can do in it is swear. Although that's true for Spanish and English in my case.

Here's my 3D printed cowl flaps (non-functional). A little paint and glue needed.

I-fly-rc-aircraft Cool!!! Just love the Corsair! Any version, any time.... Nice job!!! Jerry

Hugh Wiedman Well bro, all I can say is "Hugh, tu es un homme aux multiples talents, même si tu ne peux que maudire dans Français!!" Or, "Hugh, eres un hombre de muchos talentos, incluso si sólo puedes maldecir en francés!!" Señor. Or cussing in Spanish!!!! LOL LOL
