Paddy,

In 1967 I joined the Navy to learn a trade and they made me an ejection seat
mechanic. I thought I'd completely wasted 1502 days but now I can use
something from that. Both Corsairs (the recip with the gull wing and the
later A7 jet) were made by Vought Aircraft or the later LTV Aerospace. 

Before you buy that Corsair, the plane err... woodworking tool, make sure
that it has more than one frog screw. These things may be the only Bailey
style plane that mounted the frog with a single screw. Properly tensioned
though you may be able to create a washboard surface. Now if you put a
rocket on that frog.....
