He will have to cover it to fly it.

[winterka100]

I hope you're not going to cover it and hide all that beautiful structure!

[pilotdynan]

thats just an awesome build = )

love to see that one fly

[jeepfreak0iii0]

What motor/servo system are you running for the wing retracts? Do you have a lockout system to prevent wing load from over coming the retract system while pulling g's?

[rwright142]

@jeepfreak0iii0 I posted this for Pappy883 (that is his user name on RC Universe) so you can ask him yourself. Join rcuniverse,com (it's free) and search for folding wings or send him a private message (pm).

Note: This is NOT a kit but hand built by a friend of mine who goes by the online name of Pappy883. You can visit rcuniverse,com and send him any questions you may have there.

[rockonmyfriend]

whats the name of the kit?

[WizzRacing]

I have the real floor drawings of the whole aircraft when my dad worked for Vought. They were throwing away all the old WWII drawings and I got them out of the trash and took them home. must have been late 1969 or 1970. even got some A7 drawings. Very detailed for the line mechanics to do repairs off of.

[astupiddvdcase]

Just dont press that button in flight

[jeflatt]

wow looks very nice!, how much would a model like this cost?

[Lanzbdog]

Great effort by a fellow builder!

[coltino1911]

A question from Italy:

Is this made of balsa?

Wonderful plane really very nice job.

E' fatto di Balsa?

Davvero un bel lavoro!

[rwright142]

Yes it is made of balsa.

[TheAnaspot]

will this still work if you put the monokote and the paint in it

[rwright142]

Yes, since the wing is in 2 pieces. But it will probably not be finished with Monocote.

[Gort54]

Excellent Mechanism! Is your design flight worthy? Does the latch mechanism hold up to flight loads?

I am building a 93" Ziroli Corsair and I'd love to build in the folding wing. Contact me if you are willing to share information.

[Alucardm4]

I love that wing retraction!!! Is it done yet? If so I bet it looks hot!

[aviatorsbh]

What engine do you have in that plane? A nice radial?

[haimik0]

Just got the Top flight kit. Where did you get the components for the wing folding? Do you have the details for building the wings that way?

[2blacklabs]

NICE JOB

[sherbahn]

Respect to those of you who build such beauties. I like to fly but hate to build. I'll stick to my ARFs.

[growleybearcub]

AWESOME GREAT JOB

[follmer1314]

What corsair model kit is that and were did you get the servos to do the folding and latching.

[CoolasIce2]

Awesome model for an awesome plane.

Chance Voight would be proud.

Don't you dare crash it!
