RE: My pet peeve in scale
[quote]ORIGINAL: Oberst [quote]ORIGINAL: rgburrill My pet peeve is RCer's who think everyone has thousands of dollars to spend and should do everything their way.  Come on people, this is supposed to be a few friends getting together to have a good time.  Some have the money to spend on a 9 foot long jet with everything and some can only buy a foamie; but both should be able to enjoy each others' planes without bitching about them. [/quote] +1 Amen! I thought this hobby was about choice, to each his own? What I can't stand is people complaining about other people's aircraft. Are you God or something? What gives you the authority to judge? What makes you better than a person who doesn't have a pilot in his plane, or has a non-retract system in his warbird? Someone said it right, Warbird is a warbird, not scale. If it was scale then this thread would be in the scale forum- not under in its own title. My beef is anyone who puts down someone else's plane. It's this sort of arrogance that stinks in these forums. If you don't like someone else's plane for whatever reason, then keep it to yourself. No matter what we fly or how we build or assemble the plane, we are there to have fun and enjoy the hobby and make it grow; not be a whine*** that starts to paint a negative picture to newcomers who might be interested in joining this hobby. Pete [/quote] Well said Pete. Try to have fun people, get over yourselves.

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair
[quote]ORIGINAL: smkrcflyer Is there a design problem with the horizontal stab? [/quote] I had a flutter problem, I believe that's what caused my issue. I don't think there's a design problem in that area, not too many others have had this problem. I would just be sure there's plenty of epoxy in the area when you join the stab to the fuse. I'm also going to be sure there almost no gap between the stab and elevators, no slop in the pushrods...etc. She's fast, and I like her that way!

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair
After experiencing flutter during my last flight with her in June, I had to do some major surgery to (re)secure the horizontal stab to the fuse. Not really sure what happened, but I hope it doesn't happen again. so anyhoo, stab secured, now its time for the resurrection. Got lots to do. Going to repaint and detail, she's a great flier, and I'm lucky to still have her.
