    While I was setting the throws for this plane. I noticed the Elevator was not centering when going back to neutral every time when doing the settings. I found that the Elevator linkage was moving the Horizontal stab back and forth in the mounting set up So I made a couple 1/16" shims to help...

    Just received mine today. WOW very impressive plane, and the first thing I noticed is the new EPO foam used in this bird, and the way it is packed is also great.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I just finished the bottom of the Corsair. I added exhaust trails and gun smoke, still need to add the weathering on the bottom of the wing. That will finish what I am going to do on the bottom. All this has been a first for me. I use to think why spend all that time doing all this, the minute...

    I have never installed so many warning, and access labels (decals) on any other plane like this F4U-1A Corsair EVER, there are over 90 some nomenclature decals that I have put on and I still have more to install. Then on to the weathering to finish
