How can we get bombs to go off after 5 or 7 seconds not on impact?

I don't think the Corsair could set them that way.

You have a choice of fuses up to 11 seconds,10 mins and 1 hr, set in the Mission Editor/Payload screen.

Click on the orange triangle next to the bomb to get a choice of nose or tail options.

Indeed. I use the 5 second fuse all th3 time. It let's you drop from just 100-200 meters. And it's enough for the bomb to arm.

Fast and low is the way to go. Pity you can't make 'em bounce.

I tried the AN M64 bomb today with a AN M116 5 sec tail fuse and nose plug, dropped from about 300' and it exploded on contact.

This fuse is designed to be dropped from mast height, say 100', hence the long delay of 5 or 11 seconds.

Something wrong here!
