Corsair with Retracts

To the FliteTest Community:

This episode features a show and share by our very own 7th grade student Kameron Porche. Kameron brought in his Parkzone Corsair version 2 plane that he got from HobbyTown USA.  An advanced plane for most of our students, however, did not scare Kameron from taming this beast and being able to fly at will in the skies.  The cool feature that he wanted to share with us is the use the planes use of retracts.  Retracts for the MESArcFF scratch building program is non existant, so to see ones in action was awesome and sparked some kids in thinking of creating the housing using our 3D printers for their very own retracts.  Kameron did a great job reviewing the plane for us, but he did a better job actually flying the plane, proving that he should get a nod at this seasons TOP ACE awards.  So watch and support the MESArcFF program, leave comments, and push these kids to finish strong the rest of this school year.

Would recommend a larger runway for flying planes like this to just help with landings and those scale take offs. Also with that 3d printer you should print some covers for the retracts. Now you need someone doing 3d or flying a gas powered one.
