Bad Duck

I like the videos John,

I wonder what that hand crank was for? Was it any thing to do with the canopy?

 

[Bomber_12th]

Rich, as Paul would tell you as well, the hand crank is for the landing gear. The Duck, the F3F, and the F4F Wildcat all had pretty much the same retractable undercarriage design, which ran off of chains, ratchets, and gears up to a hand crank in the cockpit. It's an early, simple design, but is very reliable - though it does take more strength and endurance than later hydraulic and electric systems. ; )

Count me in! I think this is one of the nicest renditions of this aircraft that I've seen. I'd love to put a few hours in on this!

Best Regards,
Mike

Wow! What an impressive model, had a blast doing some water touch & goes!!!

 

[Tartuffe]

Thanks again !

 

[Crusader]

Fits right in here for some brown water landings (Laos) . I know this is a WIP but this bird shows you already have put a heck of a lot of hours into it . It flies and handles very well . Looking forward to some additional paints from our talented group of painters here and try it out on some rivers in New Guinea and other tropical areas .

Thanks again Paul , Great job .

Paul, am I right in understanding this is your first attempt at an FS model?

Very nice. I love the gauges and detailed parts like the aileron control rods!

 

[Bruce Thompson]

This ain't no "Bad Duck" it's a "Wonderful Duck"

Thank you Paul, enjoying every second of flying it, love your attention to detail.:salute:.

Very nice Duck

 

[FentiFlier1]

Did it. It took three passes to get it right...
Not the easiest machine to land on a carrier, but what fun! Thanks a lot Paul!

Paul this plane is just great, if any one is getting nose flip when using brakes, try this.
In the cfg under brakes!!!
