I was an AMH in the NAVY and worked on these planes. I always admired the tamendous capabilitys of this stout bomber. SLUF's the pilots called them. Im interested in building one! lowfly 01-24-2005, 11:21 AM I havent seen any ducted fan models of this airplane but i did build the house of balsa's version and it was junk. i dont think they even carry it anymore so thats a good thing. The SLUF is a little difficult to fly as the andihedral makes it a little unstable. But by all means try the ducted fan version and let us know what you think! Good luck!! ozcan 01-30-2005, 07:26 PM Does any one know about a ducted fan A7E2 corsair model kit?Seams as thow i rember seeing one in a model mag. in the early 80's.

Jet Hanger Hobbies have one- http://www.jethangar.com and click on aircraft. They make great quality products and have been around for many years. There are some 'much' bigger A7 kits available from Europe also.... Werner Kranz is the manufacturer he is in Germany, as far as I know he does not have a web site :confused: Hope this helps!

FLYING TIME THEY NEED TO PUT IN LiT BATTERIES TO GET AT LEAST 10 MIN ON A FLIGHT. WHEN YOU FLY IT MAKE SURE YOU ARE AT LEAST 50 FT UP BEFORE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT ALTITUDE IS CONTROLLED BY ENGINE SPEED SAME AS A REAL PLANE. JET FLIGHT ON THE CHEAP ABOUT $89.00 FROM WWW.RCDISCOUNTS.COM (http://www.rcdiscounts.com/) AND THEY ARE IN STOCK ALSO BUY AN EXTRA BATTERY FOR NOW IT ONLY TAKES ABOUT 10 MIN TO RECHARGE ON A CAR CIG LIGHTER.

I havent bought it yet, but I hear that it is WAY underpowered and may need some major adjustments in order to get it to fly http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2123300&cp=&kw=a7&parentPage=search |
