Official FMS 1700mm F4U Corsair V2 Thread

RE: 1700 mm F4U

Hello: I'm new to this forum and although I have many years in the hobby. I have a new smaller house which means I have no real workshop area. That means I'm an ARF guy now. I fooled around with 90 mm EDF's for a couple of years and am now considering the big foamie Corsair. There is information out there about failing motor mounts in these bigger warbirds. Has there been an upgrade to the planes to improve on this part of the design that appeared to be marginal at best. Our Canadian buck is in the dumpster right now, so, I might wait until I am visiting family in Florida to save on the shipping expense.
Best Regards to all you R/C folks.

Just read the L-O-N-G thread over on RC Groups and there is an upgrade metal plate that is now to be included that is considered the fix for this problem. Good to know.
