http://www.gws.com.tw if you havent flown RC before this is not a good plane to start! it tip stalls like anything and is very hard to fly. It come with a spinner though.. I left it off for those flights the pic was taken on.... very fun! If you want more info send me and E-mail at Fenderboy500@yahoo.com or just post here. to get it up and flying it took about 10 hours of work... its injected molded foam.. and about 275$ ready to fly..

Few crashes and fixes later, corsair is too heavy to fly and now we have PT-17 under work...

Nice corsaire! was looking into that. that battery is a 7.4 V lithium Ion right? dang its fast.. looks like the stock 350C too.. GWS makes great flying electrics in stock form... hey tell me how the stearman flys! looks neat.. on my next gws bird im gonna go brushless and LI-PO.. ordered LI-PO pack for the 109...  heres another shot of the 109 to bad I didnt have the black prop and spinner on it when these pics were taken :(

The corsair ran with stock 350C engine , C-gear, 1100mAh KAN cells 8.4 V (7 cells) 9070 prop.

Ain´t running anymore, got too heavy after all landings as Mipo said.

PT will maiden in 1 week, after I have time to finish it. Will run with 400 engine, D gear and possibly 1080 or 1047 prop, same battery. We don´t have enough money to buy those nice LiPo cells and charger. Brushless engine would be nice..
