Still in assembly stages and already having landing gear sticking issues. Tried calling product support and have to wait a week and a half for an answer due to the Black Horse specialist is away.

I'm redoing the plane using fiberglass and fabric and it appears to be a well built ARF. Assembly is fairly straightforward. The axles were too short for the gear/wheels and I replaced them with a different setup. I can't rate the landing gear as I haven't flown it yet but it appears solid. All told if this flys as well as everyone says I may buy another one! Thanks Motion RC.

The covering is fragile

For the most part is is a good kit with a good comprehensive hardware package. The flaps and rudder control surfaces didn't fit as good as they should. Main landing gear freezes up and will not open back up after retracting because the travel pushes it into the wing causing binding. Added washers under mounting plate to alleviate. I like the tough covering and paint scheme.

I like the BH Corsair, it’s well made, well thought out. I sold my 85 inch Corsair years ago and regretted it. So, bought this one and hope to keep her around a long time. I like the light flying weight which will make good landings much easier. Not a bad looking F4U!

The plane is amazing but the gear is subpar. Mains failed after two flights, replaced both and those lasted four flights. Looking for Robart but they aren’t making gear anymore. I don’t want to damage my plane anymore so it’s a hangar queen till I find better gear motors.
