Additionally, I find the video VERY confusing. One shot shows the elev/rudder servos FORWARD in the wing, but another shows then at the rear of the wing. This caused some consternation on my part, but eventually I decided to go with my version (to the rear) and hope she flies. Consistent oversite on little items like this will make building easier.

F4U Corsair MKR2
Having built at least 5 aircraft from Flite Test's stable and having been building flyable aircraft for at least 60 years, I took on this challenge with high hopes. And while I am pleased with the overall outcome I do have some reservations and criticisms about the kit. Firstly, the video is very helpful, but it is difficult to follow if your build site does not have computer access. Second, the instruction to join the front 1/2 of the fuse should wait until the firewall has been almost finished as you WILL have to cut it to ensure a good fit. Thirdly, and most important, guidelines should be scribed on the trailing edges of the lower wing to ensure symmetrical airfoil shape on both upper wing surfaces. Having not maidened yet, it remains to be seen if the wings are symmetrical.

1st plane awesome build kit flew great.
it took a beating because I'm not a
good pilot yet. 2 full throttle nose dives
into the ground and ripped a wing off
hitting a tree which caused it to land in
lake. repaired each time and still flew!
