Originally posted by Wild Man View PostWildman Wiedman I have them here and I have used all the AR637T's I had. I am considering on a working tail hook and a sliding Canopy in this one. With my IX 20, i will be able to adjust gains on the fly, in fact with the On the fly programming I can adjust dual rates and the Expo values while flying. I just finished adding the Flat white I wanted on the bottom looks OK. Now I can get back to access labels and weathering
I do have the AR637T in my A-10 and use a DX9 and am able to adjust the gains on the fly as well, a really nice upgrade for the AS3X over the older 636.

I haven't seen any tail wheel door mods to this bird yet. I hope one of the 3DP fabricators here on Squawk will tackle the mod eventually.

That's a good one Hugh. I just finished the bottom of the Corsair. I added exhaust trails and gun smoke, still need to add the weathering on the bottom of the wing. That will finish what I am going to do on the bottom. All this has been a first for me. I use to think why spend all that time doing all this, the minute you start flying the plane you can not see it any way LOL!!!! The last two weeks has either been to cold, Temps Below Zero with wind chills of -15 to -35 or way to windy to fly. Our weather has warmed up, but now the winds have been howling 20 to 30 gust over 40 for the last three days.

Corsair Community, starting my Corsair Build working nose to tail. I've had this model in my head since the Pre-Buy and it's been sitting in the studio closet for maybe 2 years.
Wild Man's build has inspired me, and who knows, before I'm finished, maybe we'll also see a South Pacific advisory. Best, LB

I also think the adding a bit of weight ahead of CG is good as this model had added nose weight in the factory config and I am doing a repaint and other mods aft of CG.
I will swap to the Robart 3.5" mostly for the better looking wheel and tire, frankly, but that's just me. Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

Yes, the Robart wheels/hub do look better ..... and the stock wheels do appear a bit small (when compared with pics of the full size Corsair). I am going to use the Robarts.Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman
