Bill --
Thanks for the refresher on this. I knew about the AAC/USAF but had actually
forgotten about the Navy's approach (and why.. well at least HOW.. will
anyone ever understand the why of it? <G>).
Drew did a great job on the wing angles; I spent hours trying to find a
non-click hinge method for my own version and it didn't turn out as well as
I'd have liked.
However, I just now had an idea (Insert lightbulb here) that might work
better for me..or not... I shall experiment and post if the results are
halfway decent. :)
Thanks again for the explinations. It's things like this that make .military
a valuable resource IMO.

| An excellent model, in a number of ways. I agree about the wings being too short, but I think you did a great job of capturing the angles at the base of the wings, which is probably the hardest part of the Corsair. One note about nomenclature (...) (23 years ago, 22-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)
