Took my Corsair out for the second time this year, but this time I installed Elbee's excellent 3D printed hub covers for the main wheels. Had a friend with a printer make them up for me. I installed them on the Robart 3.5" dia. hubs and wheels. I think they really look great! Stayed on no problem for the flight, too.
I'll attach a couple of pics.

Corsair Crew, So I was going to repaint the OEM exhaust tips and tidy up the area. One thing led to another and there you have it. More when there is more. Best, LB1 PhotoI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

I have a problem with my second bubbletop aileron, the last hinge is too lose if you grab the L,E. it move's up and down 3-5 mm ,not good . I think I can cut a small hole and let in some ca but I would like to know how the hinges are secured or even what the look like first . any thoughts ? ...joe h.

AP, though I cannot speak to the Flightline Corsair's fly-ability characteristics yet, I can tell you about how well it is built... as I have been modifying this airframe for awhile. davegee and rifleman_btx are spot-on about it's durability and just great looks. If you have scrolled through this thread, you have seen so many well done variants with simple repaints and frankly, the OEM paint schemes are great looking, I just had a different livery in mind when I began this build. My advice, for what it's worth, is 'go for it' if a Corsair is what you're looking to own next. She is a beauty. Best, LB
Thanks,
