The trim scheme of the Corsair on your kit box was inspired by the full scale 'Bayou Baby'. Look in the back of the AMA magazine Model Aviation for a schedule of events. A single photo, kit box cover, even a painting is sufficient proof! If you’re interested, contact the AMA for a rule book which will tell you everything you need to know.

In Fun Scale, the only documentation you need for static judging is any proof that a full size aircraft of this type, in the paint/markings scheme on your model, did exist. If you have never competed in a scale contest, you could start out in Fun Scale. Fun Scale and Sport Scale have the same flight requirements where you must perform ten maneuvers of which five are mandatory. The servos and pushrods are located so the cockpit can be installed without any modification.ĬOMPETITION-MINDED MODELERS: If you plan to enter your Giant Corsair in scale competition (it’s lots of fun and the runways are often paved), this kit qualifies for Fun Scale and the Sportsman and Expert classes in Sport Scale. The Cockpit Kit easily installs after the fuselage is completed. It includes the floor, side panels, full laser cut instrument panel and seat. SCALE COCKPIT INTERIOR: Your Corsair just wouldn’t be complete without the Top Flite Giant Corsair Cockpit Kit (TOPQ8407). LANDING GEAR: The Top Flite Giant Corsair is designed for Robart main retracts #148 (ROBQ1655) and Robart tail wheel retracts #160WC (ROBQ2230). On our prototypes we used Y-connectors to connect the elevator servos, flap servos, rudder/tail wheel steering and aileron servos. Standard servos may be used for the throttle, retract valve and tail wheel steering. Due to the large scale of this aircraft the Giant Corsair requires high torque servos to control the split elevator (2 required), rudder [1 required), aileron (2 required) and flaps (2 required). RADIO SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: The Top Flite Giant Corsair requires a minimum of 10 standard size servos. Note: If you are using a gasoline engine, you will need to make sure that your fuel lines and tank are made specifically to handle gasoline. Great Planes, J-Tec, Soundmaster and others produce soft mounts for large engines.

We strongly recommend the use of a soft engine mount of some type, to relieve the stresses on the airframe and radio system and to make your aircraft quieter. Because of its 86.5 inch wingspan, the Top Flite Corsair is eligible for IMAA events.ĮNGINE SELECTION: Recommended engine size:Ħ0cc Glow Engine, or 41 - 70cc Gasoline Engine. The Top Flite Corsair is an excellent sport scale model that is equally at home with sport flying as it is in competition. Its large size and accurate scale outline afford you the opportunity to go all out with as many extra details as you like. The Top Flite Giant Corsair is an excellent Sportsman Scale subject. Most of the trim schemes you’ll find of the full size Corsair should be easy to duplicate with Top Flite MonoKote film. You won’t have to learn anything new to end up with a first class scale model!


The Top Flite Giant Corsair uses the same materials and standard construction techniques you’ve already become accustomed to. But since this is a Top Flite Gold Edition kit, it is as easy to build as most sport models. Since this is a scale model with lots of detail, you’ll find it takes a little longer to complete than the sport models you’ve built before. Quote: "Thank you for purchasing the Top Flite Gold Edition Giant F4U Corsair.
