I just finish another project (car) and I had time to build the flaps for the F6F.

 

Mate, looking good - they are a work of art.

back in my aircraft modeling days, I bult about eight .40 size and a couple of .60 size aircraft - Cap21, Laser, that sort of thing, so I know how demanding it is to build something like that, but what you are doing is another level of difficulty. Goodluck with this can't wait to see it finished.

Love all of the details involved in this build and she's still coming along nicely.

I think both scale demand some skills and knoweledgeable and for sure money. A family friend was into RC aircraft, he was building a Corsair, a winter project. He finish it during the spring, and went out to test it. Everything was fine, until one moment, that for some misterous reason he couldn't control the plane, were it flu into a tree... From the pieces left, was difficul to find what happen. Immagine the frustration. The positive thing is that it didn't stop him to follow his hobby, in fact at some point he built a F-14 jet power RC. That was impressive to see fly. 
Thank you Donald!
