Help! I’m in search for the mechanical pivot detail for the Corsair 4FU to some detail. My sons and I are altering a RC model to have the articulated wings … they are excited and I wanted to have a realistic hinge as opposed to my best guess! I have distant photos of the wings in the up position, but can not see the pivot mechanisms, nor the skin travel paths.
Can any of you masters of the Corsair assist? Any photos, diagrams, schematics, books, websites, would be great!
Thanks,
Michael

Pat B : Big Thanks! Pics would be great (if you can show pivot and top skin travel path I would be so thankful).
BentWingBomber: Yep, as soon as I hit the send button I hit my forehead when I saw the typo … I can spell, but my fingers can’t.
Everyone else: thanks for the book recommendations!
I wasn’t sure of the feedback, but wow, impressive! What a great forum.
Regards,
Michael

Gull wing Corsair hinge details
MPG,
Yo, dude! I think the book Mark referenced is the one I have, and that I mentioned in my note to you earlier….
If you liked the Stuka, you could have the gull wings and no hinge issues!!!
😀
PS Welcome to the forum!!!!
