My best impressions of the dandy new ParkZone Corsair are located on the "ParkZone F4U-1A; BNF and PNP" thread on this forum. I love the way it looks with its fuel tanks and landing gear hanging down in the breeze while putting her through her paces in the air. I may eventually add flaps but am not in any rush to do so, especially since I have her set up with the realistic looking three bladed prop that has limited vertical performance compaired to my best two bladed props. I can't resist bringing out the original PZ F4U and enjoying it also when the new bird is flown. It's a nostalgia thing. The new ship is obviously better quality. It doesn't have a retractable tail wheel like your new bigger F4U beauty does but that's okay for me since I don't think I will ever need retracts on it. [My memory about that tail wheel turned out to be really fuzzy - see next post.]
I'm Looking forward to learning about your new Whistling Death machine. I wonder if hand launching would be practical with it. My HH Hawker Hurricane is much too heavy and awkward to even think about hand launching it. All of my PZ fighters can be comfortably hand launched.
Remember to check six. It's always the one you don't see that gets you.
Breaking off the attack now.
Out.
