F4U14-1 Corsasym

Wow. Crazy cool ! Look forward to seeing how you add the wing and engine.

if I remember well, our friend Alvis 3.14 built such a biplane Corsair, with M and W wings one upon the other... This was a marvel, my one will be worse, for sure.

Thanks for your jokes, while... Scaled is designing uncommon aircraft that can fly, and I prefer crazy aircraft impossible to fly... There would be no order at all from pilots/companies/armies.
