Swappable F4U-Corsair

Swappable F4U Corsair (with the FT Powerpod)

First of all I designed the wings.

I creased the foambord and bent it because i wanted to have one piece each wing (not two). I used a wingspar to keep the Corsair Wing in shape. (nearly the same technique as the FT Spitfire).

Then i cut out some wing centerpieces which gives the wings the correct angle and more stability. In the front centerpiece is a hole for my batterypack.

It's an removable wing (the same as the FT Spitfire).

The servos are also at the wing tips.

I designed some fuselage formers which perfectly fits into the Corsair fuselage. Then i used Flite Test's posterboard technique to get the awesome shape.

Flight Video and Canopy are coming soon ;)

If you want the plans i can upload them or i can send it to you, just ask me.

I'd love to see how you made the wing so perfect. I would like some plans too so I can fly one.

This is awesome. I would love a copy of the plans. The wing and the fuse are perfect. I was pondering on how to build an F4U. It being a swappable makes it that much more enticing. I would like to see a build video also.

Very nice Corsair you have built. I would like to see the plans and a build video posted on Flitetest. I have been waiting for someone to build a Corsair as a swappable. This is a wonderful build out of foamboard.
