Great job on the Corsair Tim.. Looks beautiful and so scale like.. The engine sounds great.. Looking forward to the maiden flight..

[@TinkerManRC]

Hi Pat thanks very much for your cool comment..Tim

[@BenMerideth]

That is very nice build sir. I am very impressed that you are using a scale biela prop. I love seeing that on warbirds. I have never figured out why someone would put in all the hours and detail to build a beautiful scale plane like that then not put a scale prop on it. Can not wait to see your maiden flight video with it. Thank you for bringing this to us and thank you for your direct to the point type build videos. Very good job with that as well.

[@TinkerManRC]

Hi Ben why thank you for the kind words and comment, I enjoyed reading .. Tim

[@danpos1971]

I have been waiting to see this completed. Great work! I like the jets you have built. But the WWII planes can't be beat. The engine sounds awesome! It's going to be amazing in the air. Can't wait for the maiden :)I hope you build more WWII planes?

[@TinkerManRC]

Hi Dan Yes the plan is for a big P47D with Moki Glad you liked.. Thanks Tim

[@johnkinnane547]

G'day what a beautiful plane, the weathering and detail to the cockpit is terrific and what a great engine it even sounds right, I wonder how hard this is to fly? Really interesting build thank you for filming it, kind regards John Tasmania Australia

[@TinkerManRC]

[@hoangchris9413]

Hello How you doing the Air Intake ? And do you have more video for the follow of your build ?? thank you is realy nice , i have also the H9 F4u...

[@TinkerManRC]

Hi This is the only video thanks for commenting ..Tim

[@hoangchris9413]

@@TinkerManRC hi , ok but can you tel me how you making the Air Intake ? thank you

[@TinkerManRC]

Hi Chris are you talking about the air intake on the wings ? if so I just cut them out open them up and installed small ribs and turned them at a angle.. that it they are for show and do not function . Hope this helps..

[@hoangchris9413]

@@TinkerManRC I thank you yes, that's it, but there is no air coming into the wing?

[@hoytmauldin9928]

Using the Robart electric retracts, did you only use the receiver 2s battery to power the retracts or did you use a 9V voltage regulator and a 3s Lipo as an aux battery supply in addition?

[@TinkerManRC]

I used the receiver to power the retracts ..Thanks for commenting ..Tim

[@vasilyzaitsev5208]

Did you drill the holes in the prop drive washer and did you tap them?

[@TinkerManRC]

The Holes were drilled out by Ray English, I sent the motor to him for the Intake mod and had him drill it out to a DA 100.. Thanks Tim

[@vasilyzaitsev5208]

Thanks Tim! I will be doing the same installation for the prop washer bolts so will get a drill jig, drill undersized holes and tap. Would you be kind enough to let me know how deep the holes are that were drilled into the prop hub? I would send to Ray English but with the cdn dollar exchange and postage to get it to him Id go broke! Best regards and keep up the great work and videos. Your craftsmanship is impeccable.

[@TinkerManRC]

Ok wil do the holes are about a 1/2 deep.

[@vasilyzaitsev5208]

Thanks very much Tim! Cheers.

[@TheXxXxSaScHaxXxX]

Hi, I would like to know which lights of unilight you've used on this build. I'd also like to go with unilight but i'am not sure which lights would fit. thanks a lot Sascha

[@TinkerManRC]

Unilight Pro 07020X2G and R and white light was UNLPURE040R from what I remember thanks for commenting ..Tim

[@erwabo]

Wow man! Amazing build! This is my dream build one day. Can you get this from Hangar 9 unfinished so you don't have to basically tear down the entire plane. Do you think the same results could be achieved from the Top Flite 60CC pre cut kit?

[@TinkerManRC]

The Hangar 9 Corsair does not come unfinished, you have to remove the covering, same thing with the Top Flite Corsair. Yes you can get the same results with top Flite, Thanks for the cool comment..TIm

[@stonesofetown6767]

Any problems with the airframe as you get more hours on it? Still tossing up the Saito 90 idea vs eme70 twin.

[@TinkerManRC]

No problems so far, good luck with your choices..Tim

[@stonesofetown6767]

Hi Tim. I’m thinking of building this plane as well. Is the keleo motor box required to fit the engine with in the cowl or is it required more so for the exhaust ring? I’m not planning to use the exhaust ring but I don’t want to cut the cowl. Suggestions?

[@TinkerManRC]

The Keleo motor box makes it easer to install the Satio engine and set prop clearance to cowling. You can still use the stock firewall with your installation. If you dont use the exhaust ring it will be a little easer to install engine. Good luck and hope this helps..Tim

[@stonesofetown6767]

Hey Tim Which gear door sequencer do you recommend ? Not sure if I can get the front doors to work mechanically via gear so I’m looking into sequencer and servos. Also how did you add you ballast weight ? Lead boxes or lead shot with epoxy? Which do you prefer? Also I have seen other guys complain about losing the sliding canopy durring flight has that been an issue for you if so what are your tips? Thanks for your input

[@TinkerManRC]

I used the Jet-Tronics gear door sequencer and had servos in all the doors. Yes, had to add some ballast weight to the front of the nose cowl, used small lead shot with epoxy, poured it into the forward cowling reset ring pocket in front. Prefer the lead shot if you can use it. I have not had any issues with the canopy, just make sure its secured before you take off. Good luck with everything. Tim

[@adrianquirino]

Hi Tim, thw weigh, high increase than original kit?

[@TinkerManRC]

Yes the weight has increased a good amount, thanks for commenting ..Tim

[@outlawflyer7868]

hey there TinkerMan. I have just purchased a T-28 nitro plane with an OS-.46 LA engine. some of the monokote has bubbles. how can this be fixed? I also have a cessna 182 built back in the late 80's and it has a fox motor. the motor doesnt say what size it is but it looks to be the same as the .49. how will i be able to find out what size this motor is? do they still make parts for this engine?

[@TinkerManRC]

Hi Aaren You can use a heat gun or covering iron to get the bobbles out of the monokote. Just be careful and don't over heat the covering. I'm not sure on the Fox motor. I would change it out if you can. Thanks for commenting ..Tim Hope this helps.

[@LeonardoJJardim]

Hi! Kit or ARF? Beautiful model...!

[@TinkerManRC]

Hello was a ARF with covering. Removed covering and fiberglassed and did all the modifications to get it this way. Thanks for commenting ..Tim

[@stonesofetown6767]

Hey Tim just finishing up my h9 Corsair. What was your total weight? I’m sitting at 35 lbs all balanced. Had to add 4 lbs 10 oz to the fire wall!

[@TinkerManRC]

Hi Neil Thats a good weight thanks for commenting ..Tim

[@russellcarrington2720]

Put hot melt glue on robart plugs so they don't come out or you crash!!!

[@TinkerManRC]

Thank for the cool idea, and comment..Tim
