May I ask what you plan to do with the Plane once you get it built? If you have little or no flying experience I would just build it, and hang it up as a show piece. Flying a corsair whether it is an ARF, or you build a kit, or you scratch build it, with little or no experience would be a certain end for the Plane. May I ask also if you have flown a Trainer? If you have mastered a Trainer, a Corsair still might prove to be a handfull. Most of your warbirds are generally something you might consider after mastering a fairly agile low wing Plane. If you still want to build one, and are just looking for plans, you might want to check out RCM Magazine Online and see if they have any corsair Plans available.

Buy a beginners kit. you try a corsair first kit and you will destroy it building it before you ever get to the flying part. Build a lot of them before a corsair. I have a friend that didn't listen to me either, and he tried to fly it this weekend. It lasted less than 3 seconds. Just not smart.

Flyboy,
Would this friend live in my neighborhood after just moving from yours ?. A certain Hilo guy that is from your town just did that very thing..........last week. And will no doubt do the same again.

Pops told me the gull wing on a Corsair can be a real bear to build for a rookie like myself, It is my favorite warbird, gotta love the Black Sheep!! There are some very inexpensive free flight kits to practice on though & the Corsair is available too. Done right it would make a nice piece to hang from the ceiling or just showcase it on a shelf. I'm doing one for my nephew's bedroom ceiling, hang it with fishing line. Mostly to ease back into buiding a kit, instead of ARFs. The LHS didn't have the Corsair so I got him a different little warbird but I'm sure Tower Hobbies has one in the Free-Flite kit section. Here I'll just get ya the link.http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXE293&P=0 There ya go, take a look it might satisfy your urge to build a Corsair. Under $30 after shipping, and a nice little 17 1/2" full build to practice on. Hope ya like it.

Oops, I just noticed you're in Portugal, shipping would be more than the little kit, sorry but good luck in your quest.
