cicopo Goldmember ![]() More info | Mar 22, 2015 21:32 | #3 I can help you out. We have one locally owned by Vintage Wings Canada. And a well known local R/C builder took the time to build a scale version complete with folding wings which he could fold or deploy on the runway. He said he had about 400 hours into building & perfecting the wings. A skill is developed through constant practice with a passion to improve, not bought.

Different engine? or just different prop? Here is a history of the Corsair. More powerful engines allowed the use of the 4 blade props. http://www.aviation-history.com/vought/f4u.html Steve
