General Rockets F4U-X(wing) >> Finished <<

[JohnRatzenberger]

Hmmm, do you have a sketch of what you are going to do ?
I was thinking the bottom wing would stay in the inverted gull and then the top wing would be a "gull" (like the PZL-11). That wouldn't be a true X like it looks you are doing. Where does the landing gear go, if there even is any ?

I had a similar vision of this as John has.

This is going to look the whole fruit salad, and that's a very good thing!

[iggie]

Excellent!

I suspect the undercarriage is going to have to be interesting to say the least!

I am building it purely to the day dream and the image inside my head.
The bottom wing will remain inverted, and the top, the correct way up.
I did do a couple of rough sketches to try wing configuration, and to see if it works.
It did on paper, but will it work in plastic?
I did envisage the wings folding into a bi-plane for landing. I am building it in flight, so no need to worry about landing gear.

The mount for the top wing, I just cut down to match the profile of the slot to mount the bottom wing.

Fruit salad...............now theres an idea.

The top of what is now the fuselage front has been made from the lower part of the spare rear fuselage. It has been cut, shaped, filed, filled and sanded repeatedly until I was satisfied.

Double winged Corsair,looking forward to this.

[general rocket]

At last, she starts to take shape.

[fredk]

A canard X-wing?

Good Lord! That's impressive!
Still think the undercarriage would be very complicated so it's a good thing you are modelling it in flight

Cowardice. I admit.
