Tom, I have not started my Corsair, but I dinked around with a 3DP design for a functional assembly. I didn't have the correct cowl radius so I used 8" just for giggles. And dimensional, it all basically a SWAG from pictures. If these ideas and STLs work, feel free to redesign or adjust to your liking. Once I start the model, I will continue with the design if you haven't already done it. I just couldn't get the idea out of head this morning. Also, if I am just way off the mark, let me know. Best, Steve

Just awesome work. I wish I had your skill for these details. If you make a complete extra set of cowl flaps ....I know someone that just might like to have it :)
Keep up the good work
All the best

So Gang, On the 1:1 version there are 15 total cowl flaps, 8 larger, 7 smaller with the cowling attached at the top dead center roughly 3 spans of the larger flap and a smaller flap at bottom dead center. Also, what would become the transition from the fuselage top to the firewall is radius-ed similarly to the cowl front. Am I seeing this in my references correctly?

Here's the post of the way I modded mine to accept the 3.75" wheels. I've since changed the #136 wheels to straight tread #117's as the diamond tread set had a warped tire that wouldn't fit properly on the hub. If you go with the 3.5" it's a lot less trouble.
