F4U Corsair Ira Kepford Model Airplane:
The F4U was the first Navy craft to have landing gear which retracted flush into the bottom of the wing, though it took some effort. Other craft had retracting gear, but there was always some bulge or part of the wheel exposed. Vought engineers designed the Corsairs wheels to swivel 90º and retract straight back to fit flat inside the bottom of the wing. Two panels then closed over the gear making a perfectly smooth fairing. The idea was to mate the most powerful engine with the smallest, cleanest possible airframe.
This beautiful handmade authentic Corsair F4U fighter wood military is made entirely by hand, from the hand crafting of the fuselage, wings and tail section - to the sanding of the aircraft's contours.
