gwaktek Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) I'm having no luck trying to locate information about whether the Corsair -1D model had a ground power receptacle anywhere on the / close to underside of the aircraft. Trying to find a good connect/disconnect point for a gussied-up 1/32 scale 21st Century Toys version into which I've inserted a slot car motor to power the prop. If anyone knows, PLEASE help! Thanks Edited June 11, 2019 by gwaktek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finn Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Try one of these manuals: http://www.avialogs.com/index.php/en/aircraft/usa/vought/f4ucorsair.html Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gwaktek Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Finn's link was great insofar as manuals are concerned, and there was a mention of it, but for the -4 version. On that bird I know it to be at fuselage starboard, at the approximate level of the foothold on the -1D. Looking forward to your input, 11bee... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CF104 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Yes, the F4U-1D had an external power receptacle. It was located on the underside of the center wing just ahead of the r/h inboard flap. Here are a couple photos. click on the link. The following photo link shows the external power access door just ahead of the flap. External Power Receptacle This photo shows an external power cart plugged in. Cheers, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gwaktek Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Fantastic... I really appreciate the legwork! Now to see if there's a corresponding recessed panel outline on the old 21st Century Toy... TYVM John. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
