| I'm guessing the Dumas Bearcat is using this same blue tissue or maybe a slightly different shade of it. |

| No sweat. Planes like these (I would guess at most 8 lbs a.u.w) can easily be powered electric. Take a look at www.hacker-motor.com (This is only one well-known brushless motor company in Germany, there are many others). With an A-200 motor, you can fly up to 40 lbs fully acrobatic. You might power this one with an A-40L, a replacement for a 6.5cc - 10cc glow engine. |

The Corsair kept doing a nose dive, I think the nose is too heavy and I will have to shift the battery aft. |

Some day I'll have to build one of these larger versions. I wonder if they can be powered from an electric motor? |

| Very nice the vert stab does look more appropriate. As fate has it I may be building a very large version Corsair in the near future. I may have inherited one from DD via poppy. |

| That's better! |

| Ah! Yes! now it looks RIGHT ON!!! |

Vertical fin is now facing foward and lines for the moving surfaces have been added. |

| Thanks, but the tissues has a few wrinkled areas that you can't see. When I put that fin on it felt backwards so I doubled checked the plans and this was right. Now I just checked the plans again and you are right! I was going to post another picture after I added panel lines so I might as well fix the fin while I am at it.
Knowing me, the prop is on backwards and the plane will just fly in reverse. Thanks for looking out for me guys. |

| I believe that cd is right, I believe the vertical stabilizer is on backwards. I hope it doesn't cause a catastrophy! |

| Those wing edge radiators came out looking very nice. |

| Perfection, seems to be your trademark, Steve. Perfect bird. Your covering is flawless. |

| Nice work Steve. Only problem is I think you've put the tail fin on the wrong way round?! |

Ready to fly! |

New batteries are installed and decals have been applied. AUW is 58.5 grams, the motor will give a max of 14 grams of thrust and will run for about 40 seconds with most of the power in the first 20 seconds. |
| SteveM, Image # 7348 | 25 Mar 08 19:58 |
The extra battery adds 3.5 grams for a AUW of 56.5 grams but thrust has increased from about 9 grams to about 14.5 grams. I think it was a good weight/thrust trade off. |

| But I'm trying to figure out the batteries. What are they for? |
| sweetwillie, Comment for image # 7342 | 25 Mar 08 16:56 |
| Lima beans or peas, they look just fine. |
