Trivia: The Corsair's inverted gull wing was not, primarily, an aerodynamic feature. It was designed to provide ground clearance for the massive 13'4' propeller while still allowing the landing struts to be short enough to fully retract into the wing. One side effect of the wing design was that the wing root joined to the round fuselage at a right angle, minimizing interference drag. Install the Wing into the Fuselage The wing fits into the fuselage in the same way as in the Spitfire. The main difference is that it won't slide in, because it's bent.
You'll need to cut the floor out of the fuselage, fit the wing and glue the piece of fuselage you cut out to the bottom of the wing. Glue alignment blocks to the top of the wing and mount it with skewers and rubber bands.
You will probably want to build up foam under the skewers to reinforce them and glue popsicle sticks to the bottom of the wing, as shown in the photos. You can glue the wing in permanently, if you like, but this requires very long servo wire extensions and makes it difficult to route all of the wiring. I find it easiest to connect the servo wires to the receiver in the power pod, and then slide the pod in, firewall first, through the hole in the bottom of the fuselage. Once the firewall is hooked on the front and the pod is skewered in place, you can install the wing, attach a battery and fly. Check the Center of Gravity The center of gravity should be 25-30% back from the leading edge of the wing. This is right under the wing spar.
If you're running the recommended 2826 motor and a 3s2200 battery, this should be easy to achieve. If you have a heavier or lighter power system, you may need to add weight or move components around to get the center of gravity correct. Notes on Landing You will want to belly-land the Corsair in grass whenever possible. Because of the geometry of the wing, it will contact the ground first and bear most of the landing forces. Cover the protruding edges of the wing with bidirectional fiber tape to prevent damage. Flaring when landing is important. If you don't get a good flare and settle into the grass gently, the forward edges of the wing can dig in, stopping the plane abruptly.

If this happens, the weight of the battery will pull the power pod forward, tearing the fuselage where the skewer is holding it in place. If this happens, you can repair and reinforce the skewer hole with fiber tape, or you can glue on a piece of popsicle stick with a hole drilled through it. This makes the joint strong enough to endure almost anything but a nosedive into the ground. Flight Video Here's a short video of the Corsair in flight. It is smooth and graceful in the air. I spent some time working on the design for a round fuselage and didn't come up with anything I liked.
To make the round fuselage look right, I would have had to move the power pod down to center the motor in the round cowl, and that would have made it difficult to keep the battery inside the fuselage. I also wanted to have a solid fuselage I could hold firmly, and I thought that a poster board skin over formers would be too soft.
I though briefly about using foam with the inside paper peeled off, but decided to just move ahead with a simple build for now. Maybe someday there'll be a version 2. There was another article about a month ago with plans for a swappable corsair with a round fuselage that looked pretty good. You might check that one out.
It doesn't have a removable wing, though, so it wouldn't fit in the trunk of my car.:) to reply. This should not take someone searching through the FT Articles to find your build plans and video. This should be available through FT's list of 'Free Build Plans' so everyone stopping by the site will have a chance to see this. Also.You would have my vote for FT to put this one up in the store as a speed build kit and compensate you from profits. This is the most amazing article I've seen to date. You've got my 5 stars and MAJOR respect!
I can't wait to get this one in the air. AWESOME JOB!!!
