3D Labprint F4U Corsair - Maiden flight

Short maiden flight (landing not on video) of my 3D Labprint Corsair 75" printed in PLA.
Flown on 8S with Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 - 6364-190KV Brushless Outrunner Motor turning a 22.8 x 13 (approx) Ramoser propeller.
Retracts are from the FMS 1700mm Corsair.

Those split flaps are awesome. Beautiful build. Can't wait to get mine in the air !

@@rcsteven3525 I have the fuselage printed onto the wing next. What tailwheel assembly did you use?

[@rcsteven3525]

@@ThomasStephan-bv5yc I think it was the Benchcraft tail gear assembly with 40mm wheel. I got it from motion RC: www.motionrc.com/products/benchcraft-tail-landing-gear-assembly-w-40mm-wheel-bct5047-005

Were you able to use one of the 4 retract mounting plate options, or did you have to make your own mounting plate? I have the FMS 1700 corsair retracts and printed one each of the 4 options(A,B,C,D) but none of the retract mounting holes lined up, curious how you made them work. Thanks in advance

[@rcsteven3525]

I think I had the same issue that none of the four supplied bases fit the FMS retracts. I used one of them and modified it to better fit the screw holes etc., I have uploaded that model here: www.printables.com/model/543433-retract-base-for-3dlabprint-corsair

Is It PLA or LwPLA?

[@rcsteven3525]

Hi Davide, it is printed in regular PLA and then painted over. You can find the manual with printing suggestions here: 3dlabprint.com/shop/vought-f4u-corsair/
