Hello, I am a new rc plane pilot! I am currently flighing a P-51D. Since it came RTF I know nothing about ARF planes. My next plane will be the F4U Corsair.
SO...... Any ideas or direction will be appreciated.
Thank You
Rob
Well you are being given great "ideas or direction".
The voice of experience is speaking but you have not ( Yet ) elected to listen.
The Corsair is a nice plane, prone to snap like crazy as it was DESIGNED to do so to improve snap turns during combat.
One person here loves to humerously reply to posts such as yours by telling them to go buy the plane, the promptly run over it with a car or truck, as it will last longer this way and cause less expense and grief. Fairly accurate IMHO.
Consider heeding the advice. Buy the Corsair and start working on it, but don't fly it until you've had a lot of stick time with acrobatic and other more docile warbirds.
Even an Extra 300 will get you better prepared for the Corsair's tendancies..
