| SteveM | Dumas Kit #213, F4U Corsair | Build | 14-Mar-08 05:00 |  | | Views : 1980 | | The Corsair is ready for her maiden, AUW is 53 grams. I will add more detail after it has flown. I have two seperate sources that say the wing area and weight are a good match to the motor, battery, and prop, but the thrust just seems weak to me. |
| SteveM | Dumas Kit #213, F4U Corsair | Build | 11-Mar-08 13:46 |  | | Views : 1707 | | I decided the 5" prop may be too large for the direct drive motor and switched it out for a 4" prop. It is identical to the prop that put the One Nite 28 into the top of a tree, so it should be good enough for this bird. |
