Corsair Motorhome Manual Jacks
Having flown Top Flite Corsairs at several warbird fly-ins, and noting how small mine seemed compared to others, I decided to build a Corsair 1 size larger. I got a 'deal' at ebay on a Jack Devine 72' all foam Corsair. Jack Devine also markets a larger (85'?) Corsair. This kit is by design a very light sport warbird, with advertised weight in something like the 9 ~ 12 lb range. I however, intend to build it scale as I can. The kit: for around $200 plus shipping, you get the all foam kit, a very nice fiberglass cowl (with open cowl flaps), a so-so clear molded F4U-1D canopy (not very accurate frame lines), lots and lots of 1/16' balsa sheeting, a bunch of balsa sticks, a bunch of ¼' ply parts, 2 quarts of water based contact glue, a VCR instruction video, and other misc.

The fuselage comes as one piece, but is actually made up from about 6 foam pieces which have been pre-assembled. Initial impressions: The idea of a having a VCR tape instead of written instructions is a really bad idea (IMHO). Do you want to keep leaving the work area to put the tape back in, interrupting your better half's QVC watching, just to see what the next building step is? OR, would you rather have a written manual, with boxes to check off steps completed? I would choose the latter.
Also, total lack of prints/ plans. The cowl in nice enough to adapt to a scale project, the canopy is not. The outer wing panels are much larger than scale, no doubt to improve slow flight ability but will require extensive reshaping for a scale project. There are no spars of any type. The dihedrals/ gull section is too 'flat', mods will be necessary to build scale accurate.

Before starting on anything, THIS THING IS LIGHT! This kit should certainly be considered for electric power. The sheeting adds a lot of weight, but much of it (if not all) could be eliminated if one chose electric power instead of fuel power.

Construction begins: I have copies of D&B 1/8 scale Corsair drawings. These are SCALE drawings, not plans. I enlarged them to 1/7 scale, and decided to build to that scale. The correct span for a 1/7 scale Corsair is 70 1/4', so I will sand to about that size. NOTE: foam sands very easily, so it was no big deal to re-shape the outer wing panels.
The fuselage also needed considerable sanding to achieve proper/ scale shape, and the wing incidence is wrong/not scale so I added some blue foam blocks to the wing saddle to achieve proper incidence. The instructions call for using Robart 615 retracts (if you want to install retracts). While I DO want to install retracts, I have no intention of using a set of 615s, which are barely robust enough for my Top Flite Corsairs. So I looked for alternatives: NONE! The Robart 148s are the next size up, but they are for 1/6 scale Corsairs, and the dimensions that I downloaded from Robart indicated that they were indeed to long/ big to fit into the wing of this Corsair. Throwing caution into the wind, and with NO HELP from Robart (I e-mailed them), I purchased a set anyways (from a gent here at RCUniverse), and found a way to shorten the legs by 5/8', which it turns out is enough to make the difference (THEY FIT!).
