  • FMS 1400 F6F Hellcat Oleo Strut Upgrade

    Hello pilots,
    Almost 3 months ago I did a oleo strut upgrade using HK parts on the FMS 1400 Corsair.
    https://www.hobbysquawk.com/forum/rc...-strut-upgrade
    I had indicated in the article that the Hellcat was gonna get done using the same parts and technique.
    Just had to wait until now on the restock of the axle shafts when they disappeared quickly after writing the above article.
    I know that this is a discontinued bird............but there are those of us that still have and fly these relics......... that is until FL gives us a 1500 F6F ;)
    Here is the links(same as on the F4U post) to parts used.

    So here is what the mod looks like completed. :Cool:
