I have a set of Elevators and a Rudder from a RNZAF Goodyear FG-1D Corsair for sale, I believe they are interchangeable with the Vought F4U Corsair. They originated from post war out door storage/scrapping at Rukahia in New Zealand and will need inspection and some repair. I would like to see them go to an airworthy restoration project. I don't have a price in mind, I am open to offers. I might also consider exchanging for P-38 parts, if you have what I need.

I still need to move these, and the response has been underwhelming. Surely there is a F4U project out there that needs rudder and elevators? Price extremely negotiable. If no response soon they'll be going up on ebay.

They are in Townsville, Australia. I am prepared to assist as much as possible with shipping. Provide an email address and I will forward photos. They are also listed on ebay.

I have received two offers, the highest so far is $1500. I want them sold in the next 24 hours.
