75% F4U Corsair (First of the 70 Series)

There are two models of the F4U-1A planned.  The first F4U is specifically designed for static display only with Museums and War memorials specifically in mind.   The static display designs are 90% based on the efforts several remote control designers have come up with and we merely scaled them up to 75%.  We will diplay a  link to their website as soon as it is available.  Their complete 1/5th scale kit will be available soon.  The second design is a monocoque design specifically designed to be a Homebuilt kit. 

The 70 Series concept came about while working with W.A.R. Aircraft Replicas.   The most common complaint is that larger pilots will not fit in a W.A.R. aircraft design without making some fairly serious design changes.  Also, the number of engine choices is a bit limited to automotive and a few select aircraft engines like the Contental O-200.  However, builders today are looking for more realistic and true-to scale options without giving up the necessary power.    For instance, the extremely popular Rotec Radial from Australia is becoming a first choice for new builders, but again the engine will not fit without serious design changes.

Enter the 70 Series.  By default, the larger scales will allow for the larger pilot and a larger diameter engine.  In fact, each aircraft is scaled/designed around the current Rotec R-3600 radial engine and scaled up just slightly to allow for any future increased engine sizes that Rotec may release in the future.

To date, none of the aircraft are finished and we tenitavly have a total of 9 possible orders.   7 static display versions and deposits for 2 of the flyable version have been taken.

NOTE: ALL pictures on this site show only the Static display version.

 

?% Scale Bearcat

The Bearcat is still on the drawing boards, however the landing gear and tail gear designs are finished.

 

?% Scale P47

The P47 is still being considered.  

Other aircraft being considered are:  Zero, Dauntless, Hellcat, FW190   just to name a few.

16-Sept-2009    F2G-1 No Longer Just a Concept!
We were approached this week by two engineers that were also getting ready to start an F2G-1 Corsair for the primary purpose of racing.  After several hours of discussion, it was decided to merge our efforts into one project. 

The new aircraft will be roughly 75% and will a two seater designed around a 900 HP engine.

We are currently concentrating on fund raising.

More news to come!
1-Sept-2009    F2G Concept Promotional Airplane Update
RT Foster is an extremely well know artist known for his Bomber nose-art and his work is featured all types of aircraft.  Mr. Foster and his daughter have agreed to do the concept artwork for a 'possible' future presentation to Marathon.
17-May-2009  The Bearcat was pulled from storage and the dimensions were checked to see just how much larger the aircraft would be if we mounted a Rotec R3600 rather than the Rotec R2800 that was originally planned.   ...more details later.
10-May-2009 The Japanese Zero Plans that were started 2 years ago were pulled out of storage due to the possibility we may need to build several for Jolly Roger's movie.
