Will a Gull Wing 3d?

Lately - I've noticed a war-bird or 2 converted to a 3d plane - or should I say a war-bird design altered to make it 3d. I think it was a P-51 Mustang... Anyway - my favorite war-bird is a Corsair. I wonder if a profile Corsair - with the gull wings - would make a stable 3d plane? Anybody ever 3d on gull wings?

There was a corsair at the pro bro in nashville....i did not get to see it fly though!!!

I have seen a coro corsair hover but I dident think that it had enought controlle serfacr because it would fall out after a while. Other then hovering I diddent see it do any other 3D.

Sloan had a depron torque rolling corsair machine at Nash.

I don't see why it wouldn't if you had enough hp up front and kept it light enough.
I'm not sure how it would knife edge with the wing, might have to work it to stay there but other than that is should work ok.

shoot, I flew the corsair at least 10 times at nashville! it is in the group photo in the middle... it is the corsair blue plane...

I didn't see much of it flying this time since I was too busy trampling through the trees, but at the Cookeville Pro Bro Ron was 3Ding the shit outta that Corsair...

Can you post a link to that PIC?
I can't seem to find it.

Oh Baby - I am LOVIN' that Corsair. I might have to re-think my next profile. Thanks for posting that for me.

they finally fixed the phone! I'm going to strip the corsair and put the gear in the mojo when I get it done. Will sell it cheap if you want it. can't ship, but I get around. can bring it to ga. or if you're coming down to our meet in jan.? how about 75 bucks with wheels and tank, will leave the servos in for 125.

Tempting offer - thanks - I'll think about it. But - after the experience of building my Burrito - I think I'd almost rather build the thing. Are there plans for this - or was it a TLAR job? I'm real curious about the wing build.

totally tlar. bashed from an omp 540. made 1/16 ply shear web for center section, stuck outboard panels on and glassed joint, ply 1/2 ribs and gear blocks. nothing high tech, and worked well.
