So here it is! My version of the Corsair in full delicious swappable fashion.

I have been toying with the idea of building one of these for a while but I wasn't sure how I would make the wings straight and rigid until I saw the build video for the Simple Soarer. When I saw how Josh made the polyhedral for those wings I had an AHAH! Moment and I went to work.

Just like with my other 2 models (articles linked below) I started with Sketchup and modeled everything over a 3 view of an actual Corsair. This makes it so much easier to get the dimensions right. I took a video of the maiden flight and for some reason my camera doesn't appreciate the finer intricacies of filming small moving airborne objects so a lot of the video is out of focus so I apologize in advance.

I have a Mobius cam on the way for Christmas (YAY!) so hopefully my future videos will be of a higher quality.

I had a chance to fly it again when it wasn't as windy and it flew beautifully. It doesn't tip stall like I have heard is common with the Corsair design.

I attribute it to the large undercamber on the wing tips. It keeps it stable while still allowing it to be maneuverable.

This is not a beginner build, but it is rewarding because it just looks so stinkin cool when it's done. I will do my best to share what I learned while building this one.

Everything I did is based off of the techniques and build style of the other FT planes, so if you find yourself wondering how I did something, start by watching the Spitfire, Simple Soarer, and Baby Blender videos. Most of what you will need to know is in those videos and FT does a much more entertaining job of explaining and demonstrating it. Grab some foam and let's get started! It pretty much goes without saying, but it all starts by printing off the plans and cutting out the pieces. Since the wing dihedral is not at a right angle with the fuselage it is SUPER important that everything on the fuselage is square and true.

I use a square to make sure everything stays lined up while the glue cools. Be patient with this and give it plenty of time. The fuselage uses what Josh calls a B style fold so the sides of the fuselage go beside the top and bottom plates. It shouldn't be too hard to figure it out since the plate in the middle that holds the power pod won't fit correctly if you use the wrong fold. I started out by glueing the power pod plate on 1 side. The other side of the plate will be glued in the second to last step.

After the plate is glued on, go ahead and glue the rest of the sides one at a time starting with the side you glued the plate to. Don't try to glue the top plate at the same time as the side plate. The glue will cool too fast and you'll end up with a crooked fuselage. You will also want to make sure you don't glue on any of the formers until the wings are installedbecause you will need to lay the fuselage down on a flat surface to line up the wings when you glue them on later. Once everything is squared up and you're happy with it you can start with the wings. I tried to get the plans as close as possible but inevitably you will most likely have to do some trimming to get the dihedral correct. This wing is made using almost the same technique as the wing on the FT Simple Soarer.

If you want to see how it's done I have linked the build video below in the related articles. Just for reference though, the bottom of the wing is solid so don't cut all the way through. I did this to make sure the wing stayed straight and rigid and I'm happy with the results. Since every wing is different I did not put the angle for the spar in the plans. I just folded the wing over and once everything looked right I marked and cut the spar anywhere it stuck out into the hinge area. I didn't get a picture of it but to get the proper dihedral you just push the shorter section of the wing flat against a table and put an 8 7/16' spacer under the wing tip and glue away.

Make sure the wing isn't pushing hard against the spacer or you won't get the proper alignment. After the glue cools you should be able to place the spacer under the wing tip without much resistance.
