F4U Corsair Build

After watching Disney's ' Planes' my step daughter asked me if I could build 'Skipper'. We had already built 'Ripslinger' and ' Dusty' and a couple other FT aircraft. I told her I wasn't sure but would see what I could do. Having recently learned some AutoCAD, it became a challenge for me to complete. One of the 'must - haves' was to maintain the big round look of the fuselage; another one was to use only the materials that the FT planes use so it could be inexpensively duplicated and the third was to incorperate the 'swappable power pod' . The F4U Corsair build has met those requirements and is a very scale flyer. It performs loops, rolls, and inverted flight quite well. The silhouette is easily identifiable and is fun to fly.
