Nope I think you will find the winner of the cigar is olddryjoint
have a look at the corsair history at http://www.calebflerk.com/corsair/index.htm Although it does say that the idea was to allow for the large prop whilst avoiding long landing gear. Edited by TignMeg - 27/Sep/2012 at 6:19pm |

It does say that doesn't it... Avoiding long landing gear. The Corsair had a large engine, needed a large prop, didn't need a gull wing, unless it's flying from a carrier and needed shorter gear.... You do realise you just contradicted yourself. |

Nope. The gull wing stopped the prop hitting the floor whether that is the deck of a ship or the ground of a runway.
Nope. I was just giving you a 2nd place medal.

LOL again. No offence but your spin on podium finishes here doesn't concern me. Nor does a typical RCG or RCU tennis match... however your lack of seeing the forest for the trees does... Try looking a little deeper....
If the Corsair was purely a runway plane it would just have long landing gear to "stop the prop hitting the floor" as you put it... Long landing gear stops the prop hitting the floor too, without very hard to make, expensive and time consuming inverted gull wings to make, do some more Googling as you quickly as you did before to join this conversation and actually read past the first couple of sentences and just maybe you will see the wing is purely for "shorter landing gear" for what this plane was designed for "carrier landings" The gull wing shortens the landing gear nothing more.... Goodnight..... Edited by Hoverin - 28/Sep/2012 at 6:01pm |

Sounds like you can't see the trees for the forest so I'm not going to get all twisted trying to change your mind. |
