| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 28-Apr-08 20:15 |  | | Views : 869 | | I must start the pit while I have easy access. The plan is to make everthing and fit it for install later. |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 28-Apr-08 20:13 |  | | Views : 832 | | Well it worked, if I scratched this fuse I would have covered it in sections but I followed the diredtions and used the wood in the kit. I placed the Hor. Stab on her to make me see what she will be like. |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 28-Apr-08 18:31 |  | | Views : 802 | | As you have all found, the second time you do something it is easier. This side I used clamps, not pins. Either I need a smaller plane or need to get more clamps, as I just made it! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 27-Apr-08 17:59 |  | | Views : 820 | | Well just about one year ago I started this new hobby. Today I just glued the largest piece of fuse sheeting to date. 6x36 "Lettuce!" hope Mr. Wood glue works its magic! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Parked | 27-Apr-08 14:01 |  | | Views : 867 | | Organized confusion. The fuse is sheeted with 1/8 in balsa.... this thickness is a new experience for me. Maybe I need to buy a nailgun! |

| John M Oshust | Scratch Built Polikarpov I-16 Rata | Parked | 26-Apr-08 12:11 |  | | Views : 3675 | | This weekend is Orthodox (Russian) Easter. I thought you would like to see some of my easter work. Theses are hollow raw eggs made by the "O" |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 24-Apr-08 19:51 |  | | Views : 851 | | All that I can do today...waiting for the glue to dry. I cannot install the shallow cockpit as instructed. I have the new detailed cockpit kit. Here is the time for pondering a method. |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 24-Apr-08 19:48 |  | | Views : 857 | | My eclectic blend of former squares gets a workout. The wood, on a kit older than some builders that post here, is truly wonderful....not like the wood supplied by Guillows. The die punches are shape and true. The wood is better than the hand selected |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 24-Apr-08 18:53 |  | | Views : 768 | | Slowly thye fuse comes together. This kit , the top is built, then the bottom. I am working with the original ins. manuel...14 pages. I have the new one 44 pages. I guess the learning curve was different 33 years agao! |
