Ask other modelers for a little help / knowledge ?

As much as a would like to see Guillow's add a Corsair to the 900 series kits. I don't think they should add this particular kit. IMHO where the wings connect to the fuselage is a weak point to this model.

I have seen quite a few builds Wid where they have to beef up the wing area a bit on the Corsair. Nothing major though and.probably only a 5 minute job. I took a old Stuka plan and had it reduced to 10.5" W.S. but its gotta wait in line till the Senator,Me-189, Jimmie Allen are done.

Actually the Comet Corsair has very good wing loading ratio I think. The model turned out very lite. I been flying with 1 loop of 3/16 inch thick rubber. The problem is with how the wings conect.

Anyway my next project is a scratch build Stuka. I will be using Guillow s wheels,canopy and decals. So I may decide to post the build here.

I have the Corsair trimmed in. Now working on getting longer flights. I used 3/16 inch one loop x2 the length prop hook to rear peg.

Added 1/8 inch motor at 2 loops. Wind caught it last half of the flight and took it to the trees. I definitely think that Guillow's should add kits to the 900 series.

I put in my order today for another kit 906 Typhoon. On my first attempt I added to much dihedral. Also I think my flying has improved since than. https://youtu.be/C1pPr1X2jzI
