Default Top Flite Giant Corsair ARF?

Was wondering if anybody knew if the the TF Giant Corsair ARF is true or not? Had heard a while back that it was going to be the next giant ARF and was hoping that this was true?

It was a rumor that I had heard from other modelers but no one seems to know how true it is. Was hoping that someone who knows one way or the other would chime in.

I have been hoping for some one like GP to build a good quality giant scale corsair arf. I finally gave up hope and got an H-9 60 size. Someone please hear the cry in the dark! I do have a G-62 just waiting.................

Sounds like a troll to me.

Every time they actually prepare a new ARF, the picture of the prototype goes public BEFORE they order the first production run. Gives 'em time to cancel, if there's no response.

This, on the other hand, sounds like somebody trolling to get people excited.

Just my 2¢ worth,

Bummer I hope that you are wrong but if not it was a nice thought. I lost mine in a dead stick couldn't make it back and went in to a ditch/miniture canyon and the damage is just to great. An ARF would of been so much easier but I may have to order a new kit and start over. I like Corsair's to much not to.

This rumor pops up every year, at least once, without fail.

Please dont' take this wrong, but I've been working away on my TFGS Corsair, and enjoy building. The last thing I want to do is take my pride and joy to some event and put it in line with 10 copies of the same plane! It's kind of nice to have a plane which is not just like everybody else's plane. Every time I see a big Mustang, it's Big Beautiful Doll! I'm not ARF bashing, I just like to have something a bit different......

Yes. But I think Top Flite has listened with their ARF Mustang. A year later or so they came out with the ARC.

If I get one you won't have to worry about it being a copy. I am sure they would do a Navy version to which I would change it to a Marine version. But I get where you are coming from though.

Anyway back to the theme, Great Planes, we want a giant scale Corsair, ARF or ARC, we will take either one. You will not be able to make them fast enough!

My G-62 is sooooo lonely....................................

I guess I should of been more clear I actually wanted an ARC but an ARF would be ok I can peel the monokote away. I hear you DaddySam but I take the ARF and make it somethin not always seen. Here is what the Corsair looked like and also my TF ARF that I stripped and glassed and added some detail to.

I hate to say it but at the rate Top Flight comes out with new products we will all be dead a burried when this one comes out.
BTW where did this rumor start there is absolutely no info about this plane being offered any where or is this just a wishing well.
speaking of wishing wells I will throw a penny at more 60 size axis aircraft, but TF seems to be heading twards the ARF market who knows only TF.
