F4U-1 Corsair Up-date Pics
Sep 11, 2015 01:42:35 #
Went up to the Museum this morning to photograph the latest work on the Corsair...
We've had the tail plane and the tail elevators covered with fabric and doped and the wings have been removed in preparation for them to be covered. You can see by the wing shot that everything behind the leading edge area will be fabric covered. The ailerons are made of wood.
There are two shots of the rear starboard elevator, one with flash and the other without flash so you can see the light through the fabric.

Cool, that's an early "bird-cage" Corsair. Do you happen to know which exact model it is?
FYI that is the elevator, aileron is on the wing.

Thank you Ron for such great progress shots, most UHH members have no idea the time involved in restoring to perfection these great warbirds.. A true labor of love...
