Product Information

FlightLine F4U-1A Corsair "Birdcage" PNP - FLW304P

The F4U Corsair was a carrier-based and land-based aircraft developed during WWII. Its unique inverted sea-gull wing is its distinctive feature, as well as its maneuverability and versatility to operate in many areas.Its powerful engine, producing a top speed of 640 kph, made the Corsair one of the fastest piston fighters in the world at that time.In the Pacific battlefield, it achieved an impressive 11:1 combat record.The Corsair remained in military service after WWII into the Korean war era and several continue to fly today with civilian operators.

This FlightLine F4U Corsair is approximately 1/8 scale, with a 1600mm wingspan and 1300mm length.Molded from EPO foam and featuring a scale shape with lots of plastic parts to enhance its scale fidelity and user friendliness, all the Corsair's control surfaces are easily assembled with screws.

Like the FlightLine 1600mm Spitfire Mk.IX and Freewing A-10 Warthog, this Corsair also features a multi-material wing, utilizing foam, plywood, plastic, carbon tubes, and aluminum extrusions to provide a stronger wing than solid foam yet still lightweight and maneuverable. Scale lighting, scale six-panel flaps, scale landing gear, sharply molded panel lines and raised surfaces,

various other scale features.

The FlightLine F4U Corsair stock PNP version is equipped with a 5055-390KV brushless outrunner motor and scale 3-blade propeller and 80A ESC. The specially molded large size propeller and all-new motor help power the Corsair through acrobatic maneuvers with ease while retaining a reasonable scale appearance.

The model can cruise at ~40-50% throttle setting and loop consecutively at only 50%-60% throttle setting.Vertical performance is also excellent for a scale model this size!

Takeoff is very stable without the need for flaps.The F4U can execute a wide range of maneuvers, including all scale maneuvers and additional non-scale acrobatics.Its aluminum suspension main struts and tall wheels provide confidence when operating on grass runways.All three landing gear are retractable, and the mains even feature three panel sequenced molded plastic gear doors for ultimate realism.

To give users an added element of versatility, the inside wall of the molded plastic cowl incorporates eight hidden tubes to house lead ballast, which users can add or remove depending on their preferred battery size.
