Official FlightLine F4U-1A Corsair 1600mm (63") Wingspan

[Hugh Wiedman]

Aces INCREDIBLE JOB, I thought that the pictures you were not in were of the real thing, then had to look closely to find it's your model. You are a true artist! Bravo

[Aces]

Thank you guys for the compliments. Katmandu, i will post pictures of it tomorrow. It is just stock. But if you are not familiar with that model then that fact doesn’t help you.
i don’t want to hijack the thread so I will message you. Thanks.

[f4u ausie]

with respect its been in an old building.. ........... the amount of work to make it look like that is however freekin crazy job well done

[KatManDEW]

Still need to glue canopy on, double check control throws, figure out flap setup with my TX, check battery placement and CG, etc, etc. But we had a break in the weather today so I took it to the club field for photos.The short video clip highlighting the Aspire sound system won't upload because the file is too large

[Aros]

Gorgeous shot!

[Hugh Wiedman]

KatManDEW , I'd love to see a video of the sound system. Put it in mine, set it for the double wasp and love it. Have you tried to upload the video to You Tube, and then just provide a link to it by hitting the icon in the upper left that kind of looks like a paper clip, then at the bottom you'll see a space that has at the beginning http:// and at the end says "Add Link". Shouldn't be a problem no matter what the size. Did that with mine to show off the sound system and the moving head of my pilot.

KatManDEW, Great livery choice and execution. Bravo Zulu, Sir. Best, LB

[Grossman56]

KatManDEW If it's up on You Tube, just post a link to it, that's the next best thing.

What should I use to glue the canopy back on? Just basic foam glue like Uhu Por or Beacon foam/fabric adhesive?

[boomer108]

Foam tac or canopy glue. I like foam tac the best

My old bottle of canopy glue is dried up and I don't have any Foam Tac. But I have some of the glue below which lots of folks used to use on foamies. It's like lots of the Uhu Por type glues.

KMD, Do you have any of the included "Kit Glue" from other Flightline or Freewing models? It works like Foam Tac. I also use Sobo Aliphatic White Glue because it dries absolutely clear, but you need to tape it down until it dries. Best, LB

[I-fly-rc-aircraft]

I haven't deserted you guys. Working on another project. (TVs for my F22 90 mm).

Hey all just curious is anyone offering the cockpit kit for sale? I’d don’t have a 3D printer and would really like to get the cockpit kit for this beauty.

I don't have any other Flightline or Freewing models. I found two different kinds of Foam tac glue. The one from Beacon seems to be similar to the Beacon Fabri Tac that I have, which has an appearance and odor like the old Uhu Por glue that came with Shockflyer foamies.

R4, Welcome to Hobby Squawk. There are a few guys who offer 3DP printing services here at the 'Squawk'. Dirty Dee & The RC Geek are two. You can "Private Message" either one using the Message link at the top right of this webpage. Check out other posts in this thread about fit and finish, many of the pilots of added this mod. There is a bit of foam surgery involved, but not difficult. Best, LB

[Aces]

Ken Smith, that is for sure one of the pictures that i found in my search. Just love the battle worn look. And F4u ausie, no apology needed. Whether it sat in a hanger or was used in combat, if it comes out looking like that i like it.

If no one else will do it, I can print it for you.
