In July 2001, CJM acquired the rights to produce a 100” Corsair fiberglass kit from Don Smith Plans. This scale kit is the first in a series of Master kits.

Fiberglass fuselage with panel lines

Removable composite gull section

Plug-In Composite outer wing panels with panel lines

Six Composite flaps.  Ready to install

Gear doors ready to install

Composite ailerons ready to install

Composite horizontal stab and elevators with panel lines

Fiberglass, heavy duty cowl with cowl flaps extended

Retract Door Sequencing Kit Available

Main gear retracts and tailwheel Available

Scale Cockpit and Pilot Available

Functional Scale Cowl Flaps Available

Scale Exhaust Available

 

Designed to sit on the gear in approximately three hours.  By any standard, this kit is the fastest built Corsair kits on the market and comes with multiple options to fit the builder’s needs and pocket book.

The Master basic kit comes with a primed epoxy fiberglass fuselage. The fuselage is laid up using layers of fiberglass cloth material.  The removable, center gull section comes primed and designed for easy outer wing panel installation using two aluminum spars in each wing panel.  The standard cowl diameter at the rear of the cowl is 11 3/8” diameter.  We had a request of a customer to enlarge the cowl diameter.   Both cowls are 8 ¾” long but the larger diameter cowl is 11 ¾” at the rear.  The first question that should be, “ if the scale cowl is 11 3/8” diameter, how did you get away using a cowl with 11 ¾” diameter?”  How we did it is to permanently extend the cowl flaps to the extended position.  Unfortunately, you can’t use the functional cowl flap system but you can install a larger engine.

If you are going to install a large engine, you have a 11 3/8” firewall.  The cowl comes with the cowl flaps extended.  Also included are composite outer wings, composite horizontals stab, and fiberglass flight controls including 6 flaps, ailerons, rudder, and elevators.  All 6 gear doors are also included, the wood package, canopy, instructions, picture brochure, and plans. Optional CJM giant main landing gear with 3/4” diameter oleo struts, retractable tail wheel,  scale exhaust stacks, cockpit, pilot, and scale functional cowl flaps are available.
