Vought F4U Corsair
The Chance Vought F4U Corsair was an American fighter aircraft that saw service in World War II and the Korean War (and in isolated local conflicts). Goodyear-built Corsairs were designated FG and Brewster-built aircraft F3A. The Corsair served in some air forces until the 1960s, following the longest production run of any piston-engined fighter in U.S. history (1942--1952).[1] [2] During World War II, it was the fighter the Japanese feared the most.[citation needed] The U.S. Navy counted an 11:1 kill ratio for every F4U shot down.

HorizonRC.Com Review- ParkZone F4U
The recent product announcement from ParkZone of a new F4U Corsair has created a huge amount of interest from avid RC pilots waiting to get a chance to fly one of everyones favorite warbirds. The RTF Corsair comes equipped with a 480 brushless motor, a Li-Po battery with the necessary Li-Po 12-volt charger, 30-amp speed control and DX5e 2.4GHz DSM2â„¢ radio. Above all, it is the "Bent Wing Bird."
Some previous F4U Corsairs have been available but were difficult to build due to the distinctive wing shape. This made it a "wish I could build one" model for many people who may not have had the time necessary to build a complicated project. Well, this one totally solves that problem. Out of the box it can be completed and ready to fly in just a few minutes - it is truly a ready-to-fly. The Plug-N-Play® version is just as quick to finish and only requires that the builders install their own receiver.
Flying the Corsair is one of those things you just have to experience to understand how much fun it is to see this WWII fighter cruise by on a low pass at the field with all the other folks giving their approvals. Take a look at our review video and get some interesting detail information and see some people flying the Corsair. Then go get your own. This is one plane a lot of people are going to be bringing to the local flying site. Be it at a park or club field, the fun starts with the first takeoff.

Vought F4U Corsair
Development of the Corsair began in 1938, when the US Navy issued a request for a new single-seat carrier-based fighter. The Chance-Vought company won the contract with their unique, gull-winged airframe pulled by the largest engine then available, the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp. The wing design was necessitated by the tall landing gear which was, in turn, necessitated by the huge propeller required to propel the plane at the desired high speeds.
The prototype of the Corsair was first flown on 29 May 1940, but due to design revisions, the first production F4U-1 Corsair was not delivered until 31 July 1942. Further landing gear and cockpit modifications resulted in a new variant, the F4U-1A, which was the first version approved for carrier duty.
The Corsair served with the US Navy, US Marines, the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm, and the Royal New Zealand Air Force (and later, the French Aeronavale), and quickly became the most capable carrier-based fighter/bomber of the war. Demand for the aircraft soon overwhelmed Vought's manufacturing capability, resulting in additional aircraft being produced by the Goodyear Company (as the FG-1) and the Brewster Company (as the F3A-1). Production ceased in 1952. Over two dozen Corsairs are believed to be still airworthy, most in the United States.

Sweet Landing of the Corsair F4U WW II
http://billingsford.com This bird has been up for over 4 dozen flights. It continues to impress me with the Thunder Tiger 91 Four stroke engine. I've never had this motor fail. Runs like a dream and flies like one too. This baby really cooks down the runway. All that and a full warranty backed by Ford Motor Company. Just joking. Just had to mention the product I sell....
