Title: Vought F6U Pirate

Hi,

maybe you have informed that AZ Model plan to release kit of this aircraft in following weeks so some extract from blueprints, manuals with archive images could be of help if any of you plan to get sample.

I talked to a Vought retiree (these are the people restoring the airplane) in 2007 and he told me they were missing some major components at that time. The thinking was that they'd have to fabricate new items from scratch at that time. Incidentally, this is the second production Pirate and is Bu.No. 122479.

Here's a link to more F6U info: http://www.millionmonkeytheater.com/F6U-1.html Scroll down to 122479 and you can link to a photo of what the airplane looked like when it was saved by the New England Aviation Museum.
