This thing is not even clsoe to the Top Flight model. It is stand off scale this one is absolutely correct!

The weight comparison from the ancient 150 size sport P-51 from Hangar 9 is not a comparable. Yea the size is similar but that is about it. 2 ounce Chinese 3 inch tires on that plane to a pair of Robart 5 inch aluminum solid rubber tires on the corsair that weigh in at almost 9 ounces a piece. My point is the old Mustang was a sport model with no real scale options of accuracy on it. This one is a serious warbirds by all accounts. It handles the weight real well. If you like to fly quality warbirds you will love this model.

Just what we need, another corsair. now all you need is a p-47,p-51 and a spitfire the same size and do them in the same colors that have been done to death and we can enter you guys in the tard of the year contest. And you must charge at least 250.00 more because your IRON on covering is a lot better than the others.

You're bad John....bad, bad, bad....I wish you had stayed with JetCat. It would have been cheaper for me..lol
So, question...how are the main gear doors operated? Robart air cylinders? Mechanical?
I think I need ANOTHER Corsair Whooohoooo !!!

This Corsair is awesome. It has everything that most modelers kit bash right from the get go. All 3 gear doors on the mains, sliding canopy, nav lights, bomb drops, 3 piece wing, and a nice looking cowl with exhaust. Hangar 9 did an oustanding job, and after I get my giant scale experience with my p-51 I'm ordering one. Maybe the price will go down closer to the top flite price by then...
Hats off to Hangar 9!!!

Hey, no busting on my (your) 'ancient' P-51 1.50! I'm in the middle of converting mine to gas like Skillet. It's still a good looking, good flying airplane. This thread made me want to go out and jump up and down on the wing! Just messing with you John...

Excellent Dean. I think you will be happy.
Just for info ont he gear doors. The doors are included and the airframe has been designed with teh thought in mind to make them work. Making them work is all up to you guys. There is no hardware. Anyone with some basic modeling experience should be able to execute we believe. This includes the tail wheel doors as well.

32lb flying weight seems really light for a plane of that size with a 3 piece wing and radial engine. Is that really the flying weight with a full tank? Did the prototype need any lead in the nose?

RE: Hangar 9 60cc Corsair
Wing area vs weight is what it is. "How it handles it" is a deep subject. And we have to freelance on the gear doors? Dont get me wrong, I live this plane already, but I also will have to see reviews first. Horizons reviews saved me from a grave mistake already.
