CFM CORSAIR IS READY
Thu Feb 14, 2008 9:50 pm
Well, after many setbacks, fuel cell change and last, a gear strut O/H. It's finally ready. Runup and carb adjustment. Couldn't fly, the winds were too strong and gusty. The weather's not that great over the next few days. Hope to fly it next week. Photos by Scott Slocum ( of "Bombshells" fame).

Ya but I'm figuring your specialist didn't give a darn about the motor. Just the gal in front of it

Are those gun barrels right? I've never noticed them being that long.

^^^ That's what she said.
Sorry, I couldn't let that one go by.

Looks absolutely incredible!!!!! Big hand for all involved in the job, outsiders think this sort of effort 'just happens magically'-keep posting as you accomplish major points in the test flights, and lots and lots of air-to-air

Beeee-you-tee-ful! (and the plane looks nice, too!)
What variant is that? I've never seen a cannon-armed -1 Corsair before.

As this Corsair had -5 wings installed in the past, I wanted to use the gun ports and extend the barrells out to make it like a F4U1C.
