Hi

Does the corsair share the same wing as the super corsair and does anyone have any good 3 views of either type please.

Thanks

Ben

The corsair wing spar is pretty much identical from one corsair variant to the next. There were only minor differences. Interestingly, the main spar for Dave Etchell's FG-1D project has a main spar with an F2G data plate on it. When they cancelled the F2G there must have been some left-over spars which were recycled onto the FG-1D production line.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi again,

The main external difference between the wings of the F2G and the standard Corsairs is the leading edge cooler openings and related buldges under the wings on the wing center section. The F2G had the coolers turned sideways, thus cutting down the size of the buldges. Bob Odegaard's F2G has the stock opening. Cook Cleland, Dick Becker and Ron Puckett experimented with closing up the openings to reduce drag. Ben McKillian (sp?) did nothing to modify his (ok, Cook's) F2G. The outer wing panels are for the most part interchangable except for various wiring differences for guns or cannon. I thought that Bob said the #57's outer wing panels are from different versions of Corsairs. The origional outer panels needede a lot of work on the leading edges and were owned by someone else.
