Diablo,

I might suggest some baffling to get some air moving across the tops of the jugs. A few years back, I had a dead stick on a Meister P-47, DLE-111 on the maiden. The heads were hidden...

I also have the latest Robart electrics for my Ziroli P-47 (just finishing the wing). The tail wheel has the actuator mounted right on it, unlike the Corsair's. The P-47 gear appears to be rock...

Yes. I went through three H9 "Frankies": one mid-air, one mysterious roll-over into the ground, and sold the third. I now have a TF GS P-51 that I glassed and painted in the same FF scheme. It...

I finally got the second flight in on my Corsair. The repaired/replaced electric gear worked great. Flies heavy. Keep some speed up on landings. All was good. I like a little more aileron throw...

I did not strip it. Mine looked like a raisin when it arrived. I used my heat gun instead of the iron. Use a mitt. Heat the wrinkles until they "flow", then rub the mitt over them pressing the...

From the firewall on the motor box to the cowl rim is 6.25" on the right side (from the pilot's view). So the prop hub will need to be more than that from the firewall.
