Hi Michael, Thanks for inquiring about plans, but we are still in the development phase for the Corsair. The aircraft is intended to be a kit build and not a plans-built aircraft.

Thanks again for asking!

Hi Ken! Yes, you are not the first to request that one. We discussed it to great length at the RFA camp site this last year at AirVenture. I have never been all that excited about the P-40 but see that airplane in a whole new light and appreciation.

So when I got home, I called one of the top experts on the LS3 and told him that the only way I would do that project is if he built me one of his complete LS3 conversions. He refused and no amount of money would bring him out of retirement.

There is only one person left I trust with the LS3 Conversion. I will call him when the time comes.

For now, I’ve pulled the information to get started and started my pile of research.

I’ve come to the conclusion this aircraft is going to be not nearly as difficult as I thought. So the design begins with the cowling. If I can not get the cowling 100% accurate to the full scale, I will not continue. It has to hold the LS3 without modification and it has to be accurate.

My focus at the moment is the new Corsair Design so I’m only working on the P-40 when I need a break for the Corsair.
