Always wanted one, but didn’t want to build it. Same with the P-38. Motion RC came through big time on both. Took me longer to put on the custom graphics from Callie than assemble it. Two things that could be improved: 1- the pilot is too small, and 2- the base airplane is 20 oz heavier than advertised. I finally saw it on the cover of the box. Be up front guys. Mine weighs 9.5 lbs totally stock with an Admiral 6000 pack. I was shocked! Fortunately everyone says it flies great. Mine won’t be flown until it gets warmer and drier in Utah. I also have a Roc Hobby Race Corsair, which flies great. This should be even better.

Haven’t purchased a receiver yet, lately weather hasn’t been the greatest for flying lately in Oklahoma, I’m very happy with the plane! I love the Corsair! Beautiful! The quality is fantastic in the 1600mm Corsair, it was a very easy plane to assemble, good instructions.

Maidened my -1D Corsair today. Flew it with an HRB 6s 5000 50C. Decided to go ahead and add both of the extra weights to the nose and the balance was perfect. First plane I've ever flown that required NO trim in ANY axis! Straight and level hands off! Flew in low rates, aileron 75% of recommended, elevator and rudder as recommended. Unlike most others, I found it benefits from a few percent up elevator mix with full flaps to prevent an initial nose down tendency before adding power to stabilize the approach angle. Takeoffs and landings were uneventful all day. No bad habits whatsoever. Fantastic warbird!

I had 2 buy a second plane after my balance went crazy somehow on the first and buried it in a cornfield. I almost have the second dialed in. It flies and looks AMAZING. Great detail on it for a foam. Best I've seen. Worth pulling out the airbrush on. This one has markings from the USS Bennington circa 1945

I was born before WWII. My dad was in the Navy during the war. As a kid I have always been fascinated with the pilots and planes that flew during the war. Now that I'm an old man, I still have that keen interest. Having recently purchased and assembled the RC models FMS B-25, Flightline P-38, and Flightline F4U-1D Corsair I'm not certain if I will ever fly them (I only have 14 minutes flight time on a high-wing trainer). Just looking at these beauties brings back so many fond memories. The Flighline Corsair was so easy to assemble. The parts were all there and fit perfectly. The instructions provided all the information a builder needs. With a few cosmetic modifications to suite my taste, it turned out GREAT. Flightline's attention to detail has created a wonderful WWII fighter. Every time I walk by my model I picture a Corsair banking in on the approach to a carrier. I hope to fly this beauty some day and there is no doubt in my mind it will be a joy.

very scale like flying plane,not a bunch over powered but certainly has more than enough power.out of the box everything was perfect.set up plane as the manual said.flew great,lands very floaty just keep some power on especially with full flaps.It doesn't need full flaps to land but you can use them and make a very scale like landing. no flaps needed to take off on grass or pavement. love flying this plane.
