Past into Present 7-20-2022

It’s amazing building this old Guillows Corsair. Looking through the box I found the original receipt and a card from the hobby shop it was purchased from in 1985 in Arizona.

The man that started the build did a good job but sadly he passed before he could finish it. It had been shoved away in a box with the built center section and fuselage. It sat for many years before it found its way to me. Thank you Smith Brothers Hobby Center for giving me this model!

There were a lot of broken parts in the center section. Thankfully the plans show all the parts to scale and I was able to cut new parts that fit perfectly.

There’s some about restoring and or completing work once done so that it will fly one day. I’m making this 4 channel, electric and fixed gear. I want to keep it very light. I hope wherever the gentleman is he can see this plane being finished and flown. Whoever you were, thank you kindly for this model. I’ll take good care of her.
