ParkZone's first Ultra Micro Series F4U Corsair |
It was an icon of U.S. military might during WWII, a weapon so devastating its foes referred to it as "Whistling Death". Now the F4U Corsair is making a name for itself as the latest ParkZone Ultra Micro Series scale warbird that you can fly just about anywhere.
This micro is capable of sport aerobatics or slow touch-n-go's, just like its larger park flyer brother, one of the most popular warbirds in the ParkZone line. It boasts great scale details like molded panel lines, a clear canopy, scale landing gear that allow you to enjoy the scale looks of this great WWII legend just about anywhere with the same flight characteristics you've come to expect from the park flyer model. Finer details such as a 3 bladed propeller and a choice of two decal sets (included) from two of WWII Corsair aces, "Pappy" Boyington and "Ike" Kepford add to the authenticity of the plane.
Available in both Ready-To-Fly and Bind-N-Fly completion levels, the ParkZone Ultra Micro Series F4U comes out of the box with the traditional tri-tone navy trim scheme, 4-Channel control, steerable tail wheel, and removable landing gear. Both the RTF & BNF come complete with Spektrum AR6400 DSM2 receiver so you can fly without the fear of interference in as little time as it takes to charge your included 150mAh LiPo battery with its DC charger.

It would have saved cutting up my airplane to fix it if I had just watched the 2 videos that Hobby Lobby has available for us. It's water under the bridge for me now, but I'd be willing to be a nickel that you can benefit from them if you buy a micro F4U Corsair!
I crashed on my first hand launch as I wrote about on the other micro F4U Corsair ad where you buy the radio with the airplane. Broke a wing off but glued it back on with foam safe CA glue and accellerator. Then I hit the top wire on my telephone poles while descending to land one day and broke off the main gear on the right aileron linear servo. Those little jewels are expensive at $20 plus shipping!!!
With that being said, all of the bad things that happened with this little airplane I did to it. After repairs, it bounced back and is still flying. It's quick on the ailerons so use the dual rate function on your first few flights.
I've got 46 five to six minute flights on it so far. The micro F4U seems to use battery power faster than the micro T-28 Trojan. I think that's due to the fact that the aileron servos are inside the T-28's body and not out underneath the wings causing more drag like on the F4U.
I came from 4 years of flying helicopters to these micro foamie warbirds and am having a blast with them. After you get used to flying them, move the elevator pushrod up several holes on the elevator control horn and you'll really get your moneys worth out of them. Same with the rudder.
If you really want to knock your socks off, try one of the micro P-51D Mustangs. Either way you go you'll have a well made and very good looking airplane. One of the neat things about the F4U is that they used a clear canopy on it and you can see inside the fuselage. When the sun is setting (or in low light levels) you can see the red glow of the RX's LED through the clear canopy while you're flying.
