Default TF Giant Corsair Cowl

Who has the best Fiberglass Cowl for this Kit?
Maybe a fiberglass Fuselage?

I used a TnT glass cowl. It has the open cowl flaps molded in. Excellent glass work. Aircraft flies fantastic!!!!

Default Website ?

I'm starting a TF 60 size Corsair and want the cowl to have open flaps. What is the web address for TnT and if they don't have a site how about an address and ph number. Pete

Default Cowl with flaps fo 60 size Corsair

Gary thanks for the TnT site. They have some great items. It looks like they distribute Stan's fiberglass products. They list a cowl with flaps for the Giant Corsair but not for the 60 size bird. I had already emailed Stan's and the Cowl offered is a copy of Top Flight's. Pete

Pete, the cowl that I am using from TNT on my Giant Corsair has cowl flaps in the extended position. The size is a little smaller than the plastic one with the kit. I believe it is closer to actual scale than the Top Flight one. The glass work on the cowl looks good, and they have reinforced the edges with glass fibers. Well, got to go back down in the work shop.

Default Too Big!!

Gary,
Thanks for the numbers. The TF cowl is 5 3/4in long and 7 1/2 in in diameter at the base. Will look for other options or just leave it without the cowl flaps :disappoin Pete

Rocketman,

give these guys a call. I believe they are the ones who make the cowl you are looking for for the TF 60 Corsair.

Default Nobody's Home

Dave,
Thanks for the lead. The website gave an address and ph#. I tried to call and wasn't able to get thru. Called 411 and no listing for Precision Fiberglass Products. If you or anyone has dealt with them and have a current ph# let me know.

Sagacity,
Thanks for the info but Stan's has a straight cowl with no flaps (TF-604) for the 60 Corsair. Pete
