kaz3g Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Very beautiful aircraft...you should be very happy with it. How does it handle the thermals? Kaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 The 2200 Jab engine seems to suit the plane well. Every one I know of is going fine. They are a bit faster than a lot of stuff, which may help. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandit12 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Close, the other Bandit - we caught up in Alice last May for dinner with Nico and Roadbandit. Too many similar forum names! Nice Corby by the way, looks like it has been done up with a Christen Eagle paint/decal look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 G'day, coldcomfort. Good choice the Corby. I have built an RV4 and fly that a lot more than my Corby. More room and slightly more speed, being the reason. but when I jump into the Corby it seems as if I am just putting it on and don't have to do much more than think where I will go and the plane does it. I just took it for a quick jaunt today before going cross countrry in the RV and it just puts a smile on my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
