WAR Corsair Update 4/29/2024 

Thanks

Getting the last few bugs out of the way.

Thanks

It was definitely the easiest method by far.

@Dynodon64 coming from a family of pilots and even aviation history as far back as my family leading the way as original bush pilots in the early 20"s founding Alaska airlines disregard any negativity because in the end it's your life that's at stake and I believe your build is in the experimental class? I could be wrong but you know your work and my father was a aircraft restoration and builder of vintage and modern aircraft and ppl just don't realize it isn't about views it's about your life if you have to quadruple check things out so do it who gives a crap what ppl think your doing a thorough meticulous job just like my father would have done he never got in a hurry and he did it to the best of his ability Everytime and if he wasn't 110% sure he found someone that was in that field that was and When the day finally comes and you make your maiden first flight it will be a day we all will enjoy because of all the hard work and dedication and determination you have put into this amazing project take your time and keep up the amazing job oh I was going to add my father built a half scale I believe P-51 similar to your F4-U Corsair your friend, James McLean

@@jamesmclean7757 Thank you for all of that. These videos were meant to show anybody that was wanting to build a plane like this, would have something to go by. I hope to be in the air soon. I think I have all of the bugs just about done.

There are one of a kind, aren't they.

You got that right, but I think that last 10% is about done.

They look good, but are a pain to get everything in sync.

Thank you for that.

Chris Simms is the guy making molds for his WAR Folke Wolf 190. He has a channel. He's not working with WAR directly.

@Dynodon64 Maybe that is who I was chatting with. My memory is not like it use to be.

I nice bit of history there, thanks.

Wry well said

I got a question could you use divers tanks for are if you want to go above 10000 ft like say you want to go to 20000 couldn't you use a diverse tank for oxygen

I was thinking the same thing. Under the wing you have a higher pressure pushing up.

Maybe some day.

The seals are made just for the Timpken bearings. They have a metal washer and the seal is molded on them. Their meant to be tight against the inner race to keep them from spinning with the wheel.

Disregard that last sentence. I’m using voice texting and the TV was on.!!

I think any moving around of the plane may cause them to pull closed. Just a touch and the doors spring closed. They are under a spring like pulling effect to close.

That's why I have never seen any WAR Corsair with functional gear doors on them.

Testing will tell me more. Maybe a camera mounted down low to watch them in flight.

Yes the left side not fully closing is especially worrisome to me. My theory is if the right side is working properly, you should be able to get the left side proper too. You have taken care of numerous small issues on this plane already and have come too far to let this persist. Would hate to see a small problem become a large one in the air. Just my 2 cents and good luck with further testing.

@@Chadman03elantra It seems to be more of a slight bind than an interference problem. Both sides are the same, but may not be exactly the same.

A 10" Newtonian.

@@Dynodon64 Nice. You planning on vids on that build? That could be a whole new additional following for you.

It shouldn't, because there is a high pressure under the wing, and a low pressure on top of the wing. That's how lift works.

@@Dynodon64 Thanks for the explanation. I really enjoy your videos.
