Country:  | Hello - New Member/F4U-1D Questions
Glad to join the group.
I would like to work my up to building & flying an F4U-1D Model.
1) What are the the best kit(s) to start from?
2) What are the best kits/prebuilt planes to learn to how fly?
My dad's F4U-1D had two Antenna Masts, one forward, and one aft, of the cockpit. Is this the standard config for the -1A1 through the -1Ds?
Is one of the masts, the Nav mast, retractable, if so, is it the forward, or the aft mast.
Thx
Scott |

Country: | All models of the F4U-1 series had the same antenna configuration. It wasn't until the F4U-2 series that this was changed. F2Gs also had the antenna forward and aft of the cockpit. As far as I know, neither of the 2 were retractable, as that would be tough with the antenna wiring.

Country: | As I know the two antenna masts had F4U-1A/1C/1D variants of the fighter only.
