I don't post often enough to justify it.

Even in a targeted thread like this, what I posted was very basic information of record. If we were having a highly technical discussion on piston engines or some such, then identifying myself might provide coherency to my posts. But here, anyone can search "Pratt and Whitney R-4360" to find the exact information I posted.
Also, have some restored F2G Corsair at the Reno Air Races. You can see the enlarged cowl for the R-4360, as well as the (extended for racing) carburetor air scoop and bubble canopy. Less visible is the vertical stabilizer which has been enlarged and offset to counter the Wasp Major's torque. Despite its large engine, the F2G was only an average perfomer, top speed being 431 mph at 16,400 feet and service ceiling being only 38,000 feet - good at low altitude, but overall slightly inferior to the F4U-4 version of the Corsair. only 10 F2Gs were built before they were cancelled, and in my opinion they are among the ugliest Corsairs.
